Flower House Lyrics

I missed the Mississippi on the way to Michigan

I was sleeping in the backseat with my head on a meditation pillow

I wish I could remember all the dreams that I had then

All I know's when I woke up that time was moving slow

And in this heat is God's green heart beating

I can hear it in the dirt and trees

Some days She tells me o don't believe them

When they tell you all good things are free

Oh

Oh

The water's rising in the West again

The birds are flying in circles searching

And in our throats there's a heavy hymn

For people and places we won't see again

And in this freedom is bondage waiting

I can feel it in my skin and bones

I'm tired of all this endless creating

Take me now to my forever home

Oh

Oh

Slow down

Don't pass the summer

The dog's in heat, your mom's got a lover

And I can't make a change

Slow down

Don't pass the summer

The dog's in heat, your mom's got a lover

And I can't seem to stay

Oh

Oh

In endless green fields there's a blinking light

A reminder that our time is surely hastening

I follow you until I forget why

Drinking all the water till we can't taste

Till we can't taste

Till we can't taste

A thing

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh
