let the flowers grow

Peter Murphy

I gave my soul
To the things that you admired
I caught it
As it came through
Let you be my saviour
Kept it to give you back
Back-to-back
With you

And the heartbeat of the city
In the shadows I made my home

I ve been changing
And mamma don t know
Let her tears fall
And make the flowers grow
I am changing
And daddy can see
His reflection
In the mirror of me

Should I regret
These dangerous feeling
But I was born
To feel alone
Without your love
I m just a stranger
A wilful child
You can t control

And the heartbeat of the city
In the shadows I made my home

I ve been changing
And mamma don t know
Let her tears fall
And make the flowers grow
I am changing
And daddy can see
His reflection
In the mirror of me

Back-to-back
With the spirit holy
Imitated you for you to be

I ve been changing
And mamma don t know
Let her tears fall
And make the flowers grow
I am changing
And daddy can see
His reflection
In the mirror of me
