Cotton Flower Meaning
[We stood in an open field Arrested by the warmth of autumn’s eve And you were kneeling down To catch the sound Of crickets moving south Below the shield And I still capture glimpses of you there Taking pictures in my mind to keep you near But I am not alone For you are home And I am not alone For you are here [Chorus] And maybe it’s just the difference between Getting past and getting just what you need And maybe it’s not something we can see Or a part of something greater we could be And the backfield there by the tractor’s boughs Warmly paved for long ago — so go The cotton blooms slightly sudden snow And strange, the way a flower held in your thoughts Can hold the bitter past untorn As do the blood that beauty’s born And to repay the lover’s toll And it took me by surprise Were you scared? The way you’re searching might stay there Will you look to me for something more than some Love is fear And lust to trust is dust we must I’m there And deep down, I knew you cared And shared the love I teach in there , [Chorus] So I won’t hold you tight or keep you from the day And you wouldn’t have it any other way But if you need a place to hide from yesterday All you have to do is ask away ‘Cause I know the way And it’s a fine time for growing old There’s tea on the porch Is that too bold? And I alone, my love For I am not ashamed And I’ll sing my love To you each day] |
