Survive

[ubba]

Falling pearls
Make a pretty sound
As the woman who wore them
Falls to the ground
---
Restless water
Disturbed by his blood
He’s so confused by his life
Fells lower than mud
---
Can I survive?
---
The plucked flower always dies
The mourning widow always cries
The second place child always tries
Without you, I’ll always survive
---
The man stares
He asked a high price
He bends down to feel her hands
They’re cold as ice
---
The snow melts
Get ready for spring
The trees will start to bloom
The bees will sting
---
Can I survive?
---
The plucked flower always dies
The mourning widow always cries
The second place child always tries
Without you, I’ll always survive
---
The world spins
New life begins
Nothing really lasts
As time goes past
---
The plucked flower always dies
The mourning widow always cries
The second place child always tries
Without you, I can’t survive
