Where the Wild Seem to Grow - Wilfred

Where the wild wild flowers grow and winter waters flow There's a place that I've always loved the best When at last I lay me down final peace and rest I've found Take me home to my own and there I'll rest Take me home to my own and there I'll rest When as a little child hopes dreams runnin wild Someday I'd live just like a queen upon a throne Little did a poor girl know how hard the way to go So I wandered yes I wandered far from home Oh I wandered yes I wandered far from home Freedom was in the air you could feel it everywhere Don't be blinded it's Gods gift can't you see Never lay your armor down til peace and rest you've found Going home going home to be free Going home going home to be free

They call me The Wild Rose But my name was Elisa Day Why they call me that, I do not know For my name was Elisa Day From the first day I saw her, I knew she was the one She stared in my eyes and smiled For her lips were the color of the roses That grew down the river, all bloody and wild When he knocked on my door and entered the room My trembling subsided in his sure embrace He would be my first man, and with a careful hand He wiped at the tears that ran down my face They call me The Wild Rose But my name was Elisa Day Why they call me that, I do not know For my name was Elisa day On the second day, I brought her a flower She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow So sweet and scarlet and free?" On the second day, he came with a single red rose He said, "Give me your loss and your sorrow?" I nodded my head as I lay on the bed If I show you the roses, will you follow? They call me The Wild Rose But my name was Elisa Day Why they call me that, I do not know For my name was Elisa Day On the third day he took me to the river He showed me the roses and we kissed And the last thing I heard was a muttered word As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief And I kissed her goodbye, said "All beauty must die" And I knelt down and planted a rose between her teeth They call me The Wild Rose But my name is Elisa Day Why they call me it, I do not know For my name was Elisa Day My name was Elisa Day For my name was Elisa Day

Maps point to angels that'll lead the way back home Yellow-colored flowers that you picked out on your own These trees may line the hills 'til it gets too high to breathe Sailboats sail the ocean 'til they get where they should be Oh, lead me home To the place where I belong Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls Oh, take me home Where no one else has gone Leave it to the rivers to fix my broken heart Loneliness can heal the soul, like a highway out in Kansas Oh, bluebird sing me a song while I wait here and listen Water flowing down the stream, it sounds like momma's calling me The sun might wonder where you've gone if you stay in bed all day Oh, lead me home To the place where I belong Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls Oh, take me home Where no one else has gone Leave it to the rivers to fix my broken heart Today I got some bad news and I wish that I could tell you My lungs are under pressure from the things I wish I never knew Hear it once and tell it twice, to numb the pain I'll hide inside Is this what you call emotion 'cause it's something Something I don't recognize Oh, lead me home To the place where I belong Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls Oh, take me home Where no one else has gone Leave it to the rivers to fix my broken heart Oh, lead me home To the place where I belong Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls Oh, take me home Where no one else has gone Leave it to the rivers to fix this broken heart

She's covered in blue jean overalls that she painted A work of art that speaks in every language She paints to tell a story she never could She starts with the pain that she still holds That she covers with color 'til no one knows You don't see the tears running down her face She'll never tell you she's been drinking in the dark How she falls asleep on the floor when life's too hard How no one will ever know, 'cause she plays her part She'll never tell you that she sees pain, where you see art She pours her morning coffee like it's her last Then pours her heart on a canvas she can't take it back She leaves an empty space for you, just in case She starts with the hatred that she holds That she covers with color 'til no one knows You don't see the tears running down her face She'll never tell you she's been drinking in the dark How she falls asleep on the floor when life's too hard How no one will ever know, 'cause she plays her part She'll never tell you that she sees pain Yellows turn to orange, then red To the color of red wine blood Blues like the skies from the morning light To the shadows, left untouched She'll never tell you she's been drinking in the dark How she falls asleep on the floor when life's too hard How no one will ever know, 'cause she plays her part She'll never tell you that she sees pain, where you see art

Dear Sid, You think you made it in the world, now you're 18 you should know Adults aren't superheroes, they're just kids growing old Maturity is a choice, that not everybody chooses Dropping out of college doesn't mean that you're a loser You think you'll figure out the world, by the time you're 23 Now you're a certified adult that's working 40-hour weeks So many bills, why does it cost so much to breathe? You thought it would be easier deciding what to eat You'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean I promise you don't wanna be like the people on TV Everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think Every year goes by a little faster, one day you're 23 You'd think that turning 25 is the year you'd make it out But you're still fighting wars you know nothing about Where is the truth, are we ever gonna find it? Is this game, why does it have to feel so crowded? You think you'll figure out the world, by the time you're 23 Now you're a certified adult that's working 40-hour weeks So many bills, why does it cost so much to breathe? You thought it would be easier deciding what to eat You'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean I promise you don't wanna be like the models in magazines And everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think Every year goes by a little faster Don't ever lay your head down angry, never slam the doors you close If someone breaks your heart there's someone better down the road We're livin' for the first time, and this is all we know We're livin' for the first time, it's okay to take it slow 'Cause you'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean I promise you don't wanna be like the people on TV And everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think Every year goes by a little faster One day you're 23 You'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean I promise you don't wanna be like the models in magazines And everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think Every year goes by a little faster Till you wish you were 23 I still don't know where I'm headed, should I? I'm still getting older as the days go by I stay in my head on most days And I try to forget my own age Wish I was 23 Sincerely, Wilfred

Smoke me like a cigarette with your morning coffee Cause last night feels like a silhouette Running through your veins Was I enough to ease the pain? Breathe me, I'll fill up your lungs Take a look around and breathe me out until I'm all but gone Running through your blood Til the high goes away Cause I will be a part of you Until there's nothing left of me You can burn down this whole town And every bridge that you can see And I will burn, just as I breathe You can leave me on the front porch when you're done with me I'll lose my fire, I'll lose some sleep I'll blow away, and I'll be free Hold me, like your last cigarette From an empty carton full of hurt but you don't know it yet Running through your lungs Don't you know those are bad for you Kiss me, like it's what you need Feeling kinda sorry drowned by everything that's meant to be Running through your fingers Til you've got nothing left to hold And I will be a part of you Until there's nothing left of me You can burn down this whole town And every bridge that you can see And I will burn, just as I breathe You can leave me on the front porch when you're done with me I'll lose my fire, I'll lose some sleep I'll blow away, and I'll be free You took my love, and you got high You knew damn well, that I wouldn't last the night Now your clothes smell a bit like me Cause you took my love, you took my love You took my love, and you got stupid high
