Devendra Banhart - The Rose Lyrics

When I was a teardrop
I fell from your eye
All understanding
Was waving goodbye

Headshots of animal actors
Sitting in noble display
I'm picking up no vibrations (no vibrations)
But love's just a thank you away

No way around it
We've got to go, go
Hiding in plain thought
I miss you so

I pay the big bucks to be told
Money just ain't worth a thing
Sitting in the fullness of silence
She aches just like a human

Walk like a flower
Don't let me go
Beautiful answer
I'll never know (I'll never know)

Greg runs through glass door in India
It hurts to dance for a while
Wearing a perfect No Fear shirt
I see them float down the Nile

Lonesome connection
What can I say
A little sweetness
Goes a long way

Listening to reggae versions
Of every Bob Marley song
I gave up giving it all up
Or looking for ground to stand on

Would you forgive me
For failing to
Even consider
Forgiving you?

Is it a kind of discipline
To break my vows every night?
And Heaven's a bloody magnolia
Ever so graceful and bright

Ever so graceful and bright (a movie set to a song)
(A montage, the day is done)
Ever so graceful and bright (a movie set to a song)
(A montage, big changes)

A movie set to a song
A montage, the day is done
A movie set to a song (bloody magnolia)
A montage, big changes (bloody magnolia)
A movie set to a song (bloody magnolia)
A montage, the day is done (bloody magnolia)
A movie set to a song (bloody magnolia)
A montage, big changes (bloody magnolia)
Bloody magnolia
