lyrics

I dream of nothing but the yellow of your face
anymore,
dandelion, steal my heart.
I think of nothing but remember how to pluck you,
from the ground,
dandelion, break my heart.

The winter can be bitter
when the frost freezes through the ground
and your roots shrivel up & you cannot make a sound.
But I'll do my best to shade you,
and I'll try so hard to save you,
that I'll pray at my bedside like the Lord's been found.

When the spring time comes,
spread your seedlings on the jetstream,
by the pricking of my thumbs,
something wicked this way's coming,
and the bumblebees are buzzing,
and my mind returns to you,
dandelion, steal my heart.

When the dream time comes,
you can see your self before yourself,
We'll find John Frum
he can give us what we're fighting for
the airports we've been striving towards,
with haystacks and our cardboard cars,
and I'll go back to you,
tell no lies or you'll break my heart.

I wish for rain, I hope for warmth, I pray for you,
all the time,
dandelion, bend my mind.
Your head's dried out, I cry for you
If I could, would die for you,
we'll stay right here and watch the sun arrive.

When the dream time comes,
you can see your self before yourself,
We'll find John Frum
he can give us what we're fighting for
the airports we've been striving towards,
with haystacks and our cardboard cars,
and I'll go back to you,
tell no lies or you'll break my heart.
