Counting Crows - Children In Bloom Lyrics






Children in bloom cooking in the sun
Waiting for a room of our own
Leave my sister alone
She don't deserve this
She is a flower and I am a flower and
We are all alone
I gotta get out on my own
I gotta get up from this waiting at home
I gotta get out of this sunlight
It's melting my bones
I gotta get up from this slumber and get myself home
All these wasted dreams
Just waiting for the sun to open up my heart to anyone
Bring me some rain
Because I'm dying and I can't get this damn thing closed again
I gotta get out on my own
I gotta get up from this waiting at home
I gotta get out of this sunlight
It's melting my bones
I gotta get up from this slumber and get myself home
Where's the funhouse this year?
the fairground's deserted and the skies don't seem as near
Nicole's my oldest friend
but the altar is empty and she'll never be a little girl again
I gotta get out on my own
I gotta get up from this waiting at home
I gotta get out of this sunlight
It's melting my bones
I gotta get up from this slumber and get myself home
I can't find my way home

    MAN what memories this song brings me back to from the years between 2001-2006. Bittersweet years, MAN !! Wish I had known of this song back then. This would've been my main travelin' song!! Me, my girlfriend, little Jack Russell, and our stuff, heading across the vast, open western plains (AWAY) from my troubled life 'back east'. Than my girl died out there from vasculitis. Her death crushed my hopes and dreams like a ton of bricks. Couldn't afford travelin' on my own (BUT) the worst thing was was that we had a lot of great plans to settle down and spend our life together, raise some kids, etc., etc. You know, the typical All-American dream we all as Americans aspire to have in our lifetime, at least by the time we reach retirement age. Well, now, at least for me, there's only memories and silence a lot of regrets. Oh well, the tough just keep motoring on I guess and plug away 'till they (do) succeed........

    Sorry for your loss Conan, beautiful women inside and out are hard to find. I have a great wife but we lost 2 children so I know what its like to have your heart torn out. God bless.
