The Lilies Songtext
von Plainride

Another year beneath the grindstone
Inside the mill
Another month incapable
To pay the bills
Have you yet brought up?
Have you yet brought up your bag of grist to the miller?
"Won′t you lay down the plowshare?"
Spoke the soil to the tiller

There she goes, watching the lilies
There she goes, watching the birds
All those people that would call her silly
They have not ever considered the earth


Little Johnny Turner, he found himself a rat king
Shaking his kaleidoscope down by the pond
Swears it happened just the other week
Mister Turner shot a man to death
Now scarlet's in season
And all the ladies are dressing up in it (and yet)

There she goes, watching the lilies
There she goes, watching the birds
All those people that would call her silly
They have not ever considered the earth

Now that the ground beneath our feet has grown so cold
Black powder laced with red and gold
I just wanna hold you, babe
I just wanna hold you

But There You go, watching the lilies
There you go, watching the birds, grown without no toil
And All those people that would call you silly
They have not ever considered the earth

Watching the lilies
