Tulip

Are you lit from the inside, is that why your teeth are bright?
You smile as the sun sets on the window, and the car fills up with light
Make a smile tulip, don't think of me as something that's passed
I am not written in the book, but I intend to last...
And as the sun comes up you know it's really going down
You only framed it incorrectly, now you cannot turn it round
If there's enough of us here left, then we'll drive it into town
And when we pass the field of tulips, then I'll put the knuckle down...
Don't frown tulip
Make a smile
Don't frown tulip
You know it's all worthwhile...

There were lions by the roadside, I was driving with my Father
Through a dream of French forests, and all was warmth and solace
And all said He is with us, but always sad and serious
Standing outside in the garden, pained and peerless...

Don't frown tulip
Make a smile
Don't frown tulip
You know it's all worthwhile...
Make a smile at the end of your tether
This was never gonna last forever...

The woods all were peopled with daughters and sons
The teeming uncounted and unchosen ones
Who don't dance anymore, they just move around in bubbles
And nobody notices nobody's troubles
Nobody notices nobody's troubles...

Don't frown tulip
Make a smile
Don't frown tulip
You know it's all worthwhile...
Make a smile at the end of your tether
This was never gonna last forever
Don't frown tulip, don't frown tulip...
