lirik lagu bill callahan - baby's breath
there grows a weed looks like a flower
looks like baby’s breath on a mirror
my girl and i rushed atop the altar
the sacrifice was made
it was not easy undertaking
the root’s grip sucked like a living grave
oh young girl at the wedding
baby’s breath in her hair
a crowning lace above her face
that’ll last a day before it turns to hay
good plans are made by hand
i’d cut a clearing in the land
for a little bed
for her to cry comfortable in
and each day i looked out on the land
and i wondered what all was gone
until i saw it was lucky old me
how could i run without losing anything?
how could i run without becoming lean?
it was agreed
it was a greed
it was me tearing out the baby’s breath
oh i am a helpless man
so help me!
i’m on my knees
gardening
trying to make the baby’s breath blow
it was not a weed it was a flower
my baby’s gone
oh where has my baby gone?
she was not a weed she was a flower
and now i know you must reap what you sow
or sing
