about

are you the flower? am I? who are we waiting for?

lyrics

wildflower, sitting on a hill
who are you waiting for?
rain is coming and you will
bow your head in soft prostration
you aren't stronger than a raindrop
your neck is weaker than a bone
wildflower, I will stay here
and you won't be waiting alone

the river has taken away the shore
there isn't a stillness here anymore
I used to think that I was known,
but now I'm not so sure

wildflower, sitting on a hill
who are you waiting for?
wind will shake you and make you
drag your heels in your foundation
you aren't faster than a stormcloud
your arms can't hold you on your own
wildflower, I will stay here
and you won't be standing alone

the river has taken away the shore
I don't keep my eyes down anymore
once I could ask a question,
but that was far before

wildflower, sitting on a hill
who are you waiting for?
night is falling and you will
close your eyes in starry slumber
you aren't brighter than a comet
your head feels heavy as a stone
wildflower, I will stay here
and you won't be sleeping alone
wildflower, I will stay here
and you won't be sleeping alone
