[Intro]
Cruel one convinced you in his stillness
In a dream, safe and harmless
[Verse 1]
Unknown to you
Wolf in sheep’s clothing
Hand over mouth
His secrets you’re holding
I can see you and the ache you’re hiding
I’m here you know I’ll always remind you
[Verse 2]
Lonely one, I always knew
The future tells a hazel view
Gemstone, like polish and acetone
For you are my sister sewn
I know you like the drive home
Breath deep, the knower’s perspective
You’ll see how the rest of this is undeniable
[Chorus]
Hold out for June, it brings new season
Vision is clear, your mind revealing
Pressing the flower in the page
Forever kept, a memory made
Now you’re so sure, you’re always leading
All the same words now bring new meaning
I can hear you and I know you’re singing
“I’m here you know I’ll always remind you.”
[Bridge]
Lovely one
Four leaf luck
Skilled hands built you up
[Chorus]
Hold out for June, it brings new season
Vision is clear, your mind revealing
Pressing the flower in the page
Forever kept, a memory made
Now you’re so sure, you’re always leading
All the same words now bring new meaning
I can hear you and I know you’re singing
“I’m here you know I’ll always remind you.”
“I’m here you know I’ll always remind you.”
