lyrics

Purple flowers on the hill.
If you sit awhile and just keep still,
You might just hear them whisper hopes of spring,
If you listen close.

I know this place, I know that it knows me.
But the footprints here no longer match my feet.
I’ve taken walks, I’ve taken strolls, I’ve left behind bullet holes,
But Heaven knows

If I could grow young, I’d spend all day in the trees
I’d fly away, with swarms of honey bees
I’d just let go, I’d refuse to feel
That I’m lost to everything surreal
But the truth is, I just can’t feed this hunger
And I know I’m not getting any younger

These bricks and stones, they make my bones
The gravel roads I used to roam
I feel the pebbles under my skin, they’re begging me to let them in
Once more

Oh, dust and wind and thunderstorms
Over yellow fields that keep me warm
I could run away, they’d bring me back and make up for the things I lack
I’m sure

If I could grow young, I’d spend all day in the trees
I’d fly away, with swarms of honey bees
I’d just let go, I’d refuse to feel
that I’m lost to everything surreal
'Cause the truth is, I just can’t feed this hunger
And I know I’m not getting any younger

I’ve studied these rivers, gone to class at the sea
The wind is my teacher, the leaves are my degree
If you came along, you’d have a story to tell
Of the child who left herself
With the flowers on the hill

If I could grow young, I’d spend all day in the trees
I’d fly away, with swarms of honey bees
I’d just let go, I’d refuse to feel
That I’m lost to everything surreal
When the truth is, I just can’t feed this hunger
And I know, I know I’m not
Getting any younger
