Elisa Inside A Flower Lyrics

Inside A Flower Lyrics

Hold back the time
   Just let it hang
   Stop the seconds minutes and hours
   And if I give you love
   Will you let me keep myself

   I'm sitting out here on the very edge of earth
   Looking through a book from long before the world began
   The man who gave it to me didn't have a name
   As overhead the sun is running down the day

   The book begins its story
   It tells of war and hate it tells of power
   The promises of freedom
   And of all religions love and ways of life

   And how to close your time inside a flower
   Stop the seconds minutes hours
   Close your time inside a flower
   Live your life forget the power

   The people passing by they stop to look at me
   They all think I'm crazy cause I'm laughing in the wind
   But I am free to be whatever I may choose
   To win this freedom I know that somebody had to lose

   I've learned of those who buy love
   Read about those willing to sell it
   When we're born it's for love
   Some of us would die just to get it

   What you gotta do is close your time inside a flower
   Stop the seconds minutes hours
   Close your time inside a flower
   Live your life forget the power

   We can give our love away and never lose ourselves
   But no one can be something that you own
   And if you think you've got the right to tell me what I am
   I got no trouble leaving you alone

   Close your time inside a flower
   Stop the seconds minutes hours
   Close your time inside a flower
   Live your life forget the power
