lyrics

maybe nothingness is to be without your presence
or to know my name doesn't grace your lips near as often as yours does mine
maybe happiness is to be with your coming
or to live without delusions that the improbable will work out fine

i am because i am not just because you are
i am because i am

you have your life and i have my death chasing up on me
day by day though it's not like we don't feel the same
and i still see that light in your hand though i'm not the only one
and you know mine was snuffed out long ago anyways

well anyway

blue flower i could see you through the fog
(blue flower you're not my red rose)
from that light in your hand
(you're golden i know, i know)
an erstwhile wind could put it out
(at any moment you could go)
at any moment i know, you know, we know
(through the cobbles and the cold)
and we knew long ago that it was over
(begin and cease and again begin like the wind that you are)
red rose, red rose, grow at your own pace
(dear god just go your own way)
'cause lord knows i can't rush you into being something for me
('cause lord knows i won't push you to be something for me)
that i know you never really wanted to be anyways
(oh i, i don't know that i ever really wanted this anyways)

well anyway

(blue flower i know
we are because we are
feel free to bloom or slice the noon
just do whatever you want
because)

(without you i'll be)
without love i'll be
(without you you'll be)
without love you'll be
(without you we'll be)
without love we'll be
(without you i'll be you'll be we'll be)
without love i'll be you'll be we'll be
