Linger - Flower Face

Are legs in the snow you cut my hair

And told me to get some sleep

I don't want to do anything without you

I don't want to do anything at all

The snow filled the air an icing sugar dream

I wrote my name on the window

You closed all the doors as the lights went out

Living by candlelight during the storm

They all shake their heads write poisonous words

In ink that stains my skin

Though I fall apart so easily you keep your head

Reassuring and promising me

You said

I will take care of you

I don't care if it's not allowed

Say what they will

We don't have to stick around

We can go anywhere

We can go anyplace that you want

Oh please baby don't cry

Slow down and hold my hand

I love you believe me

But your search for a better man

Has left you so bitter

Shaken by the winter wind

And I know that you're scared

I know that you're tired of this

Afraid of the thoughts

You can't get out of your head

You never expected

You never see it coming at all

Your voice on the phone is the only thing

That I've known

To be pure

The words you speak circulate

And they keep my heart awake

I am sure

Though your memories exceed mine

You were a child in another time

I know what I need

Right now I'm waiting for you

It's all I know how to do

Regardless of what may follow we'll proceed

We can run away in the night

Escape it all everything

Go to new york or straight up to outer space

Make love in the clouds

Sleep soundly among the angels

We have suitcases filled with road maps and dollar bills

Train tickets coffee cups and decades of time to kill

I want you right now

I want you till the day that I die

There's a war in the sky

Gunfire and burning flags

But nothing compares to the battle my heart has waged

If I die by your hand

I will die with your flag at my side
