Baby's Breath

歌詞

There grows a weed looks like a flower Looks like baby's breath on a mirror My girl and I rushed atop the altar The sacrifice was made It was not easy undertaking The root's grip sucked like a living grave Oh young girl at the wedding Baby's breath in her hair A crowning lace above her face That'll last a day before it turns to hay Good plans are made by hand I'd cut a clearing in the land For a little bed For her to cry comfortable in And each day I looked out on the land And I wondered what all was gone Until I saw it was lucky old me How could I run without losing anything? How could I run without becoming lean? It was agreed It was a greed It was me tearing out the baby's breath Oh I am a helpless man So help me! I'm on my knees Gardening Trying to make the baby's breath blow It was not a weed it was a flower My baby's gone Oh where has my baby gone? She was not a weed she was a flower And now I know you must reap what you sow Or sing
