Of Stars And Flowers lyrics

How can a pebble get a pearl to its side How can a duck court a swan How can the night have the day to avoid it How can water join with fire Days will pass leaving me to drown In the endless depths of my heart Can this stubborn man ever let go Of what he knows he won't have How can a desert have a rose to bloom How can a fish walk the lands How can a dove get to reach the sun Without burning its wings Months will pass leaving me to freeze In the raging cold of my heart Can this bitten man ever let go Of what he knows he won't have Years will pass leaving me to burn In the passionate fires of my heart Certain this man will never let go Of what he knows he won't have I reach out for the stars above my head Not noticing the flowers all around me.
