Coneflowers for you Lyrics

Long ago, December's cold left you asleep in my arms

On that rocky coast, the tides that rose

Your breath was warm like the sun's glow

We got along, but then I was gone

And I left you there in the gray haze

I said "I'll see you soon, when the Rhodies bloom

Because I won't lose my hope for you"

But these flowers for you, these coneflowers for you

They wilt in the garden they grew

As gray as the day of winter's break

And pale as that ghost I once knew

Now I'm back, where the green waves crash

The rocky swells can't wear away

The ghost of the coast in my gray-shingled home

She haunts where those old Rhodies grow

And these flowers for you, these coneflowers for you

They wilt in the garden they grew

As gray as the day of winter's break

And pale as that ghost I once knew

As gray as the day of winter's break

And pale as that ghost I once knew

But I grew them for you, where the Rhodies bloom

I grew these old coneflowers for you

But I grew them for you, where the Rhodies bloom

I grew these old coneflowers for you
