Difranco Ani This Bouquet Lyrics

This Bouquet Lyrics

got a garden of songs where i grow all my thoughts
 wish i could harvest one
or two for some small talk
 i'm always starving for words when you're
around
 nothing on my tongue so much in my ground
 half the time i got my
gaze trained on your motel door
 fourth door from the end
 rest of the
time my gaze lays like a stain on the carpeted floor
 if it weren't for my
brain i'd go over and make friends
 too bad about my brain 'cause i'd like
to make friends.
 see the little song bird unable to make a sound
 even
though she follows her words from town to town
 we both have gardens of
songs and maybe it's okay
 that i am speechless because i picked you this
bouquet.
