Tulips Lyrics

Tell me your secrets please

As I drove away from your buildings

And fled your forests and your seas

What kept my heart from leaving?

Mile after mile it's been a while

Oh how fast the years have gone

Where is my soul on days like these?

Maybe you've seen her back in Boston

Lately all I've been is wishing I was back in your room

Just sinking through the floorboards with you

I'm not sure this song's for the lonely

But I wish that it could be

So let me sing for you my darling

Will you ever set me free?

These streets that I walk now feel like an afterthought

Their shops have stripped me of all my poetry

I miss your dusty summer sidewalks

Your memory's always been felt like home to me

April showers bathe your markets

Soaked to the bone, I feel at home

Just counting Tulips in the rain

And if I write another sad song

I think my mother will go crazy

But I can't promise it's the last one

I'm gonna let this city take me

Now I'm finally older

I understand the seasons come and go

But I'm not getting anymore

Sleep why would I bother

I'm gonna miss that little blond haired girl

God, where did she go?

Misty morning moon shine

And how you spent your days in greys and blues

My hazel eyes can't look at you

I lost my sight in ashen skies

Then winter came and all I saw was white

I don't mean to be the bad guy

But when the town went up in flames

You said you wished that it would die

Tonight I wrote another sad song

'Cause if there's something that'll save me

You're gonna call me crazy anyway

I'm just as good as gone

And in twenty years I hope we'll have moved on
