Flowers In December - Mazzy Star



Before I let you down again
I just want to see you in your eyes
I would have taken everything out on you
I only thought you could understand


They say everyman goes blind in his heart
And they say everybody steals
somebodys heart away
And I got nothing more to say about it
Nothing more than you would me


Send me your flowers, of your December
Send me your dreams, of your candy wine
I got just one thing I can't give you
Just one more thing of mine


They say everyman goes blind in his heart
They say everybody steals
somebodys heart away
And I've been wondering why you let me down
And I been taking it all for granted

look on down from the bridge
there's still fountains down there
look on down from the bridge
it's still raining, up here

everybody seems so far away from me
everybody just wants to be free
look away from the sky
it's no different when you're leaving home
I can't be the same thing to you now
I'm just gone, just gone
how could I say goodbye
how could I say goodbye
goodbye

maybe I'll just place my hands over you
and close my eyes real tight
there's a light in your eyes
and you knowyeah, you know
look on down from the bridge
I'm still waiting for you

Tell me now
Three days of spirits
Tell me now
I'm here like a spell that's been (burying me to drive)

Tell me now
That there are, three days in a week
Tell me now
Did it make it so, make it so I can't speak
Make it so I can't speak
Well I'm here like a spell that's been (burying me to drive)

Eyes of blue
Sea of red
Take me to
Where I've never been dead
Where I've never been - dead

Hey, it's between myself and me
It's a very lonely, (fate/place?)

To myself
It's a lonely
To myself
It's a lonely (end?)

Crimsom red
Yourself
Back up to me

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there.

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew

Bells ring into the night
Sounds like a mistress on a rainy night
Hold your throw down together
And see the light that goes away
Leave my heart down by the water
He spins inside my soul
It isn't true but you follow
Just hold me down by the water
They say you look like a believer
Look up to see the weakness in the sky
Nobody's out to buy your story
Nobody wants to know your reason why
Hold your hands out towards the water
In front of me to know I'm with you
Don't put it all into your hero
Look on if you believe
Look on if you believe
Look on if you believe
Don't want to say that I'm through with it
Just want to be , Right by your side,
Right by your side

Oh Mary of Silence,
You pick my heart with a smile
Oh sweet Mary,
Come inside for a while
Help me get a hold on you,
Or I look in the night
I thought of myself beside you
Take me into your skin

Oh, Sweet Mary of Silence
Oh, Sleeping Mary of Silence

We have a steady confusion,
You're looking at fear
It doesn't seem like the first time,
You walked out in a hurry

Oh, Sweet Mary of Silence
Oh, Sleeping Mary of Silence

I look in , In your window,
To check my head in your pane
My last thoughts , they come to me,
I can't take the pain

Oh, Sweet Mary of Silence
Oh, Sleeping Mary of Silence

Help me walk with you, To the sky that we see
Shuddering in myself, in-my-self
Oh where
Oh when
Oh well
Sweet Mary of Silence (4X)

This is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And while I'm playing for you
It could be raining there too

This is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And while I'm playing for you
It could be raining there too

And on my easel I drew
While I was thinking of you
And on the roof of my head
In came my five string serenade

His is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And while I'm playing for you
It might be raining there too

And on my easel I drew
While I was thinking of you
And on the roof of my head
In came my five string serenade

This is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And though I'm playing for you
It might be raining there too
This is my five string serenade

There's a blue light, In my best friend's room
There's a blue light, In his eyes
There's a blue light, yeah,
I want to see it, shine

There's a ship, that sails by my window
There's a ship that sails on by,
There's a world under it
I think I see it,
Sailing away

I think it's sailing,
Miles crashing me by
Crashing me by,
Crashing me by

There's a world ,
Outside my doorstep
Flames over, everyone's heart
Don't you see them shining,
I want to hear them
Beating for me

I think I hear them
Waves crashing me by,
Crashing me by,
Crashing me by

She's my baby, She belongs to me
But yesterday she walked home all alone
Everybody else, looks at my baby
Then they wandered over to me
But baby's feelin' bad today
She said she's thinking of goin' away
Oh baby I'm cryin', And my body's flyin'
But I remember you
She's my baby, Ain't that something
But I know she belongs to you
Yesterday was another day, when I,
Saw your baby, walkin' home alone,
I'm feelin' sorry
I called you but I
I guess that I forgot your name
Baby's feelin' bad today
She said she's thinkin' of goin' away
But she's just like lightning
She goes right through you
Then you know you'll never
Be the same
Now everybody looks
All around the corner
Just to see your baby
Walkin' home

She's my baby
Ain't that something
But I know that she belongs to you
She belongs to you

Once it's life's fortunate
Isn't this so
The unreflected feeling
Of a shortened final soul
The life that cuts the cold
Now is in your past
In our memories
We don't have much to say
We don't have much to say
We don't have much
Follow anybody
Is that what you do
Maybe it transfits
Done something else with you
Now we know what we'll be in the past
Another story
Another life that's left
Another life that's left

After I stuck my
Hands into your ground
And pulled out
Somebody else's son
I felt a little unfortunate
A little mistaken
I felt like I'd been wasted
All day long
All day long
After I bent myself to my knees
And raised my hands up
Right above my head
I felt a little, little
A little bright patch
I felt like I'd been wasted
All day long
All day long
After I took my eyes
From the west
And brought myself back
To my place
I felt a little light for awhile
A little light stone
I felt like I'd been wasted
All day long
All day long

Still falling
Worthless and on begin
Inside today
Inside me today

Around broken in two
Til you eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers

Turning into dust
Til my hand shook away the fear

I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate

It was you breathless and tall
I could fee my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers turning into dust
Turning into dust

come up crash with the muses fells
dust into ash
come so close that i might see the light
inside me i might see
let me hold you tight and arms tight and arms
you lost your chance
come so close that i might see
the crash of light come down on me
with good luck i'll find the dark stop me now
find me to your heart
let me hold you tight like rain and sunshine
on a rainy day
see the lights
come so close that i might see see the light
come down on me
searching like the fresh goes by small like
wind refuse to die
free me now so i can see the taste of wind
who lock me
does the wind indeed like me
does the wind indeed like me
with good luck i find the dark stop me now
find me to your heart
let me hold you tight like rain and sunshine
on a rainy day
let me hold you tight and arms tight and arms
you lost your chance
come so close that i might see
the crash of light come down on me
the crash of light come down on me
the crash of light come down on me
let me hold you tight and arms tight and arms
you lost your chance
come so close that i might see
the crash of light come down on me
with spin luck i'll find the dark stop me
now find me to your heart
the crash of light come down on me
so tonight the crash goes by
small like wind and refuse to die
the crash of light come down on me
come so close that i might see see
the light come down on me
i hold you tight like rain
sunshine on a rainy day
sunshine on a rainy day

just because
you call my name
I cannot hear
it's not the same
(can't close my/you close your) eyes
and knock me back
all the things that I had to (have/live)

(and now you)...just...(fallen...)
I can't believe what I had to say
all the things you never say
I'll never be what you want me to be
now I can't disappear

close your eyes and look at me
I can't believe what I cannot see
everything is like you say
change your mind and you'll have to forgive

and I can't disappear
now I can't
now I can't

Before I let you down again
I just want to see you in your eyes
I would have taken everything out on you
I only thought you could understand
They say every man goes blind in his heart
And they say everybody's still somebody's heart away
And I got nothing more to say about it
Nothing more (to you) or me
Send me your flowers, of your December
Send me your dreams, of ...
I got just one thing I can't give you
Just one more thing of mine
They say every man goes blind in his heart
They say everybody's still somebody's heart away
And I've been wondering why you let me down
And I been taking ...

cannot hear what you're saying
could I tell you so
and I can't leave my troubles
and I'm going home

(lie and) sleep
under deep
you know

while the cold winter waitin'
while you (stumble home)
all these things we were searchin'
now we just don't know

(lie and) sleep
under deep
I think you know

for the rhymes of an hour
now I'm goin' home
and I can't believe I'm nothin'
cause I'm coming (down/back/home?)

(lie and) sleep
under deep
do you know

Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
Around broken in two
'Till you eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
'Till my hand shook with the way I fear

I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate

It was you breathless and tall
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers turning into dust
Turning into dust

I can't believe your thinking
save everyone, inside you
take everything
fake everything
save everything--about me

all of you, (all right)
just, just because, I want to know
do you still (come last night with clear eyes peeled/pale)
you never got there (even though you say you will)
sorry now that you've fallen from my eyes
that's the truth

why tell me about (everything)
why tell me about (anything)
you're just waiting for her to come apart
you're just waiting for her

take everything
fake everything
save everything

you really had a million hearts to break
(now it's time that I??)never left you in the moonlight
how come there's always someone else driving your car
taking you different places, in the sunlight

still cold like the stars
that's just the way you are
still cold like the stars

used to say your heart, felt like a stone
now everything you ever wanted is your own
still cold like the stars
that's just the way you are
still cold like the stars

and I knew, I was close to you
and I knew
catch me flying, in the sun
catch me drinking, of your wine

I'm gonna put something in you
make the devil feel surprised
all your sisters wanna fly
around my golden sky
around my golden sky

just because you feel, hollow insidet's real
just because you feel, hollow insideit's real

I'm gonna put something in you
make the devil feel surprised
make the devil feel surprised

and I knew I was close to you
and I (knew)
catch me flying in the sun
catch me drinking, of your wine

I've been let down
and I'm still coming round
I've been pulled down
and I'm still coming round for you
coming round for you

take away everything that feels fine
catch a shape in the circles of my mind
make me feel like I belong to you
make me feel it even if it ain't true

catch a train on a silver afternoon
a thousand miles and I'm gettin' there too soon
take me there, when I should be going home
tell me why I'm still feeling (all) alone

I've been let down
and I'm still coming round
I've been pulled down
and I'm still coming round for you
coming round for you

everyday you can see
changes in her hair and smile
I can wait a million days
while her smile goes away

sometimes I feel dizzy
by (the slices in her hand)
secrets in her (lipstick mouth)
(shiny or/shining on) never again
(shiny or/shining on) never again

capture a smile and then that's all
you won't know her so it's ok
funny how things change
funny how things change

(fields of light/of life?)
they hold me inside
count, my stars, they are lucky, in the sky
there's a time
when you go off the line
and all my things, look like someone else's memories

cold outside, burns a great big hole in my heart
I'll just wait, til you're happy, and your smile makes it right
it makes it right

sleep inside, the ocean has (smiles?)
it shimmers and, and it (flows/glows), for some people
I know it shines
I know it shines

stay inside
don't the colors make you blind
they hold me inside
count my stars
let them shine
I know they shine

she should have seen the thing in mother's belly
grew up alongside her sister's...
she reached out for nourishment (and falls from her mother's umbilical cord)
with her sister in the (womb)

one day she opens her mouth wide and swallows (her surroundings)
the red, and orange and the sounds all around her
now she was (in her corner)
now she was (in her corner)
her eyes closed with some kind of complete
happiness
some kind of complete
happiness

now she can walk in the sunlight (with a quiet sense of relief inside)
now she walks in the sunlight
an extra feeling inside her soul, makes her cry

.....in her mama's belly...opens her...sisters
one day she opens her mouth wide and swallows (her surroundings)
the red, and orange and the sounds all around her
(in the) sunlight...makes it (go away)
now she was (in her corner)
in the sunlight
now she was (in her corner)......she has...........
her eyes closed with some kind of complete
happiness
some kind of complete
happiness

(and now) she walks in the sunlight (with the extra feeling, inside her)
now she walks in the sunlight (with the extra feeling, (inside her)
(inside her???)

look on down from the bridge
there's still fountains down there
look on down from the bridge
it's still raining, up here

everybody seems so far away from me
everybody just wants to be free
look away from the sky
it's no different when you're leaving home
I can't be the same thing to you now
I'm just gone, just gone
how could I say goodbye
how could I say goodbye
goodbye

maybe I'll just place my hands over you
and close my eyes real tight
there's a light in your eyes
and you knowyeah, you know
look on down from the bridge
I'm still waiting for you

Well I think I see another side
maybe just another light that shines
And I look over now through the door
And I still belong to no one else
Maybe I hold you to blame for all the reasons
that you left.
And close my eyes til I see your surprise
And you're leaving before my time.
Baby won't you change your mind?

Surely don't stay long
I'm missing you now.
It's like I told you
I'm over you somehow
Before I close the door
I need to hear you say goodbye.
Baby won't you change your mind?

I guess that hasn't changed someone
maybe nobody else could understand
I guess that you believe you are a woman
And that I am someone else's man
But just before I see that you leave
I want you to hold on to things that you said
Baby I wish I were dead.

Surely don't stay long
I'm missing you now.
It's like I told you
I'm over you somehow
Before I close the door
I need to hear you say goodbye
Baby won't you change your mind

Waitin' for a sign from you
Waitin' for a signal to change
Have you forgotten what your love can do?
Is this the end?

Walkin' through the city
Your boots are high-hilled and are shinin' bright
The sun was sparklin' on the shaft of your knife
Flower in the morning rain
Dying in my hand

Was it all in vain?
Superstar in your own private movie
I wanted just a minor part
But I'm no fool
I know you're cool
I never really wanted your heart

Your feet rough heat
Nothing seems to bring you down
It's not that cool when I'm around
Flower in the morning rain
Dying in my hand

Was it all in vain?
Superstar in your own bright movie
I wanted just a minor part
But I'm no fool
I know you're cool
I never really wanted your heart

Ride it on baby, into my view
Ride it on baby, into your sight
Ride it on baby, just like you used to do

Did you want me love you?
Well, I'm just here for the car
And you said that you're so low
Well I won't really do you any harm

Won't you ride it on baby, just like you used to do?
There's no love that you're over feeling
And you still wanna be with me

But you're leavin like you said that you would
I'm a-waitin for the car
And you love like you always say now
But you know it won't do you any harm

Ride it on baby, just like you said that you would
Oh then ride it on baby, just like you know it's understood
Ride it on baby, it's still into your view
Ride it on baby, I only wanna be with you

I'm dreamin that you're goin far
And you like takin wine
Won't you ride it on baby?
But you're so heavy-filled with pride

Ride it on baby, just like you said that you would

She hangs brightly from a tree
Wonders what she's gonna be
I'm aware of her game
Come and watch me, watch me come again

Takes me down, deep and wide
Pulls me through to the other side
She's aware of the game
Come and watch her, watch her come again

It stays there, solid and true
Lies of love and stories too
She's aware of the game
Come and watch her, watch her come again

I'm sailin, sailin
Place I've never seen
That's way down south
Sweet old New Orleans
Cause my hometown friends
Treats me awful mean

If I could holler, yeah holler
If I could scream and cry
It hurts me so
When I look up in the sky
Cause my friends turn their heads
As they pass em by

Now it's rainin, it's rainin
The wind's blowin cold
Lord I thought I heard
My train whistle blow
Now I'm gonna sail so far
Till I won't be back no more

Pardon me, pardon me
It's so hard to stand
I ain't got no money
Uncle Sam has called my man
Now there's not a soul
To give me a helpin hand

Give you my lovin seven days a week
I'll be your honey if you'll be sweet
I know I'm the only one for you
I know that you think this is not true

Man says it's rainin, rainin outside
I'll be out there in a little while
Cause you see, rain reminds me of you
And everything has turned to you

See you in places, I'm followin you
You'll be upstairs, and I'll be there to
Everywhere you go I will follow
I know it won't be the same tomorrow

People give me warnings, "Stay away from you
They say you'll hurt me, I don't think that's true
Discomfort arouses when I speak of you
As if you been sayin somethin bad about me

When I see you I wanna kiss you
But I know that ain't right so I'd ask if I can hold you
Oh babe, I need you so bad
Oh babe, I only wanna make you glad

They say it's me
That makes you do things
You might not have done
If I was away
And that's it's me
That likes to talk to you
And watches you
And you walk away
Don't say it's useless
Don't say forget it
Don't bring me wishes
Of silly dreams
Just say it's all
From too much freedom
Too many fingers
And to anything
They say it's you
That washes the weary
And brings the night into the day
If you won't notice
How can I show you
All of you worries
Have all gone away
Don't leave me lonely
Don't leave me unhappy
Just bring me up into your fate
If you don't need me
Then don't deceive me
Letting my freedom turn into stone
Just be my angel
If you love me
Be my angel
In the night
Be my angel
Cause you need me
Be my angel
And treat me right
Don't say you love me
If you don't need me
Don't send me roses
On your behalf
Just take me down
And walk through your river
Down the middle
And make it last
Holding on to you
Holding on to me
Holding on tight
Til my love is crossed
Don't say it's useless
And don't say forget it
You are my spirit
Now you are gone

Red, oh red
The taste of blood on lips of wine
They're so silent
Wait a minute or just a little while

What are you lookin for,
The taste of red,
The taste of fear
From your ceiling leak convincing smile?

Red, oh red
The taste of blood on lips of wine
The time it waitin
Maybe takes away from your demise
From your demise

Say you're slippin?
Maybe so
It's not easy
Now you know

You're a ghost on the highway
And I'll love you forever
Ghost on the highway
And I'll love you forever
Forever and ever
And ever and ever

You're always on an island
And I'll hold you forever
You're always on an island
And I'll hold you forever
Forever and ever
And ever and ever

I fell asleep in the silence
Before the stream fights the fire
Free in the world that you've given
Lay in the sand, the water still calls
Still calls

Afraid of the dark that surrounds me
Hide in the dirt of the ground
Free of the wind that surrounds me
I'm not afraid to sleep in the night
Not afraid to sleep in the night

Free like a bird of the holders
Holdin the weight of the sun
I know the road that you've sent me
I know the way it's to one

Real like the bones in my body
Real like the flesh that covers the brain
It's real like the flesh that covers the brain

Wait for the cards that you've sent me
Before I will show you myself
Wait for the storm that comes to me
Maybe I'll just change my mind

Plea for the will of forgiveness
I'm not afraid to say I was wrong
I was wrong
Maybe I was so wrong
So wrong

If it's the truth
That's all I know
I'll look for you
And just say no

The light that was
Is now the last
I'll go
For you

Before I sleep
I hear you say
You say:

You're a ghost on the highway
And I'll love you forever
Ghost on the highway
And I'll love you forever
Forever and ever
And ever and ever

You're always on an island
And I'll hold you forever
You're always on an island
And I'll hold you forever
Forever and ever
And ever and ever
