Eden
by 10,000 Maniacs
We are the roses in the garden, beauty with thorns among our leaves. To
pick a rose you ask your hands to bleed. What is the reason for having
roses when your blood is shed carelessly? It must be for something more
than vanity.
Believe me the truth is we're not honest, not the
people that we dream. We're not as close as we could be. Willing to grow
but rains are shallow. Barren and wind-scattered seed on stone and dry
land, we will be. Waiting for the light arisen to flood inside the prison.
And in that time kind words alone will teach us, no bitterness will reach
us. Reason will be guided in another way.
All in time, but the clock is another demon that
devours our time in Eden, in our Paradise. Will our eyes see well beneath
us, flowers all divine? Is there still time if we wake and discover in
life a precious love, will that waking become more heavenly? |
