This song contrasts a Ditch Lily, which is a widespread breed of lily, with a woman that the narrator has his eye on. The metaphors that this song relies on largely relate to the fact that Lilly is also a woman’s name. The narrator sings about his inauspicious love, comparing her to a roadside Ditch...
Ditch Lilly Lyrics
Ditch Lily sittin' by the road
Dead still and your head hung low
Oh, shall I take you home?
Pick you up, put you in my lapel
If I carry you, I have to leave a piece of myself
I followed you down to the old cove
Caught you drinking up the moonlight from the dark, oh Lilly
When I picked you from the bunch
You weren't the prettiest I ever seen
But next to the road, you're a goddess, you're a queen
You were made incomplete
You were made for me
You were made incomplete
You were made for me
I twisted and I shaped to you to my needs, oh Lilly
You're a grass blade tossin' in the wind barely clinging to the ground
A circus barrelin' through some forgotten town
You have a violence that chills me to the bone
A fire inside of you that no one's seen and no one knows
You were made incomplete
You were made for me
You were made incomplete (you look so pretty)
You were made for me (better than the rest)
You are made for me
You are made for me
You are made for me
You are made for me
