Inside a Flower Songtext
von Elisa

Hold back the time
Just let it hang
Stop the seconds, minutes and hours
And if I give you love
Will you let me keep myself?

I′m sitting out here on the very edge of earth
Looking through a book from long before the world began
The man who gave it to me didn't have a name
And overhead, the sun is running down the day

The book begins its story
Tells of war and hate and tells of power
The promises of freedom
And of all religions, love and ways of life
And how to

Close your time inside a flower
Stop the seconds, minutes and hours
Close your time inside a flower
Live your life, forget the power


The people passing by, they stop to look at me
They all think I′m crazy, 'cause I'm laughing in the wind
But I am free to be whatever I may choose
To win this freedom I know that somebody had to lose

Learned of those who buy love
Read about those willing to sell it
When we′re born, it′s for love
Some of us will die, just to get it
What you gotta do is

Close your time inside a flower
Stop the seconds, minutes and hours
Close your time inside a flower
Live your life, forget the power
Forget the power
Forget the power, hey

We can give our love away and never lose ourselves
But no one can be something that you own
And if you think you've got the right to tell me what I am
I′ve got no trouble leaving you alone

Close your time inside a flower
Stop the seconds, minutes and hours
Close your time inside a flower
Live your life, forget the power


Close your time inside a flower
Stop the seconds, minutes and hours (stop the seconds, minutes and hours)
Close your time inside a flower (close your time)
Live your life, forget the power (forget the power)

Close your time inside a flower (inside a flower)
Stop the seconds, minutes and hours (live your life, forget the power)
Close your time inside a flower (all you gotta do is forget the power)
Live your life, forget the power (forget the power, forget the power)

Close your time inside a flower (hey)
Stop the seconds, minutes and hours (eeh)
Close your time inside a flower (forget the power)
Live your life, forget the power (live your life)
