Tulip

Tulip

Are you lit from the inside, is that why your teeth are bright?
You smile as the sun sets on the window, and the car fills up with light,
Make a smile tulip, don't think of me as something that's passed,
I am not written in the book, but I intend to last...
And as the sun comes up you know it's really going down,
You only framed it incorrectly, now you cannot turn it round,
If there's enough of us here left, then we'll drive it into town,
And when we pass the field of tulips, then I'll put the knuckle down...
Don't frown tulip,
Make a smile,
Don't frown tulip,
You know it's all worthwhile...

There were lions by the roadside, I was driving with my Father,
Through a dream of French forests, and all was warmth and solace,
And all said He is with us, but always sad and serious,
Standing outside in the garden, pained and peerless...

Don't frown tulip
Make a smile
Don't frown tulip
You know it's all worthwhile...
Make a smile at the end of your tether,
This was never gonna last forever...

The woods all were peopled with daughters and sons,
The teeming uncounted and unchosen ones,
Who don't dance anymore, they just move around in bubbles,
And nobody notices nobody's troubles,
Nobody notices nobody's troubles...

Don't frown tulip
Make a smile,
Don't frown tulip,
You know it's all worthwhile...
Make a smile at the end of your tether,
This was never gonna last forever,
Don't frown tulip, don't frown tulip...
