Michelle Jia - Flower House Lyrics

I missed the Mississippi on the way to Michigan
I was sleeping in the backseat with my head on a meditation pillow
I wish I could remember all the dreams that I had then
All I know's when I woke up that time was moving slow

And in this heat is God's green heart beating
I can hear it in the dirt and trees
Some days She tells me o don't believe them
When they tell you all good things are free

Oh
Oh

The water's rising in the West again
The birds are flying in circles searching
And in our throats there's a heavy hymn
For people and places we won't see again

And in this freedom is bondage waiting
I can feel it in my skin and bones
I'm tired of all this endless creating
Take me now to my forever home

Oh
Oh

Slow down
Don't pass the summer
The dog's in heat, your mom's got a lover
And I can't make a change

Slow down
Don't pass the summer
The dog's in heat, your mom's got a lover
And I can't seem to stay

Oh
Oh

In endless green fields there's a blinking light
A reminder that our time is surely hastening
I follow you until I forget why
Drinking all the water till we can't taste
Till we can't taste
Till we can't taste
A thing

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
