Elisa Inside A Flower
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 As overhead the sun is running down the day The book begins its story It tells of war and hate it 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 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 I've learned of those who buy love Read about those willing to sell it When we're born it's for love Some of us would die just to get it What you gotta do is close your time inside a flower Stop the seconds minutes hours Close your time inside a flower Live your life forget the power 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 got no trouble leaving you alone Close your time inside a flower Stop the seconds minutes hours Close your time inside a flower Live your life forget the power
