I Was - Florist

i was the boy with shoes too tight and ankles caught between the tides i was

the girl who wore a dress to Sunday school and that was it

i had a handkerchief that went around my neck

it wiped my tears, sweat my blood my innocence throughout the years and now i’m

not afraid

i’ve found a body, soul and mind that i can keep and now i’m not afraid

i’ve learned to love it and to keep it all the same

i was a wave, a cloud, a cliff, a slow parade

to short to speak

a lover with a heart of hide and seek

and now i know it’s tough to be an elephant tied to a wing

and now i’m not afraid

i found a love and they love me and now i’m not afraid

i found a love that’s here to stay
