lyrics

while this big blue world just goes to waste
i'm preserved in this sunny greenhouse
my body's paralyzed up and down the frame
the big blue butterflies land on my face

you come every morning to show your teeth
brazen and beautiful like your wedding ring
i've become a root, a part of this place
north carolina sun taints everything

that little red haired boy, he sits right down
on the rocking horse that you let hang around
the way he looks at me, it's like he knows
he rinses off my cobwebs with the garden hose

oh let me be a statue in your mind
just let all other memories die quiet
your garden needs a drink of water too
i'll get thirsty for a visit from you
