lyrics

Wildflowers

There was a lot going on
And it was all a blur
Specsavers on Sunday
Thinking about the card I got Friday
Monday the last day, Tuesday night prizegiving
Envelope unopened
Another postponement
You had that whole Monet thing going on
With your printmaking
This handmade card with your name
And the writing on the inside
Which I can’t read
Doesn’t make the right sense to me
Blue field, blurred lines of wildflowers
They told me my glasses are still two weeks away
I know it’s supposed to be impressionist
And you spelt ‘wether’ wrong, no a and one h
The sweetest thing I’ve ever seen written by a goddess
So I hold the card at arm’s length
I can’t see
Hold it to my eyes and disappear in
Blue field, blurred lines of wildflowers
Still I can’t see
Try to read the words now
I can’t see
Blue field, blurred lines of wildflowers
My face is wet
Wildflowers
I can’t see
Wildflowers
And when I finally tell you
Your face is wet
And I can’t see
Blue field, blurred lines of wildflowers
My face is wet
I can’t see
Bronte, Heathcliff
Austen, Darcy
Your face is wet
I can’t see
Blue field, blurred lines of wildflowers
I can’t see
Bronte, Heathcliff
Austen, Darcy
Your face is wet
I can’t see
I can’t see
