Devendra Banhart
The Rose
[Verse 1]
When I was a teardrop
I fell from your eye
All understanding
Was waving goodbye
Headshots of animal actors
Sitting in noble display
I'm picking up no vibrations
But love's just a thank you away

[Verse 2]
No way around it
We've got to go
Hiding in plain thought
I miss you so
I pay the big bucks to be told
Money just ain't worth a thing
Sitting in the fullness of silence
She aches just like a human

[Verse 3]
Walk like a flower
Don't let me go
Beautiful answer
I'll never know
Greg runs through glass door in India
It hurts to dance for a while
Wearing a perfect no fear shirt
I see them float down the Nile
[Verse 4]
Lonesome connection
What can I say
A little sweetness
Goes a long way
Listening to reggae versions
Of every Bob Marley song
I gave up giving it all up
Or looking for ground to stand on

[Verse 5]
Would you forgive me
For failing to
Even consider
Forgiving you
Is it a kind of discipline
To break my vows every night
Heavens a bloody magnolia
Ever so graceful and bright
Ever so graceful and bright
Ever so graceful and bright

[Outro]
A movie
Set to a song
A montage
The day is done
A movie set to a song
A montage
Big changes
A movie
Set to a song
A montage
The day is done
A movie set to a song
A montage
Big changes
