Sprout

Sprout, little sprout, gone uprooted

At least we got to see you & you changed everything

Sprout, little sprout, mirrors-drapes

At least we got to see your skin reflect the light of the sun

And tears won't bring our love back to life, but salt won't poison me

And all I did was pray for you to stay

But now you're back where you came

Sprout, little sprout, where and what for

At least I got to see you, your mother hold you

Sprout little sprout, all that came is gone

You were truly beautiful, and that is how I will remember you

And tears don't bring our love back to life, but salt won't poison me

And all I did was pray for you to stay

Now you're back where you came

Sprout, silly sprout now withered and ash

Why come all this way for a few days

Sprout, little sprout you knew love and pain

And G-d you'll never take my music away
