Fridolijn - Narcissus Lyrics

Every day he plucked me narcissus
Suffering thunderstorms and rains
He'd tell me all about the dangers he had to face
While he was out in the fields, finding me
Plucking me narcissus
His ultimate act of love

Can't you bring me a flower white, pink, green or red?
I'd ask him every now and then, here's what he said

Narcissus are what's best for you
While he looked me in the eye
Really trust me ask no more
For I know that I'm right
And all I did just like them
Was wave my head, nod and smile
Giving it another shot
Trying to bear them for another while

One day he came home to a house
Filled with flowers
Not a brick in the wall was left to see
One more yellow than the last
Ever ignoring my request

He was going on about
The dangers he had to face
Padding himself on the back
On the job he did today
The walls covered with flowers
All but one spot he could barely see

A yellow note sticking up on the door
Written days earlier on
And he hadn't noticed
I was long gone
When he picked it up to read
He could not believe his eyes indeed
It said in case you're looking for me
If you need me find me
Under the rose tree...
