You were planted by the window

Little pot

Big dream

I watched you reach for mornings

That never quite turned green

You're the lily that never bloomed

Still

I saved you all this room

On my sill

By my spoon

We grew old in the same small gloom

Oh

Lily that never bloomed

You were my unfinished June

I talked to you at midnight

Spilled my secrets in the steam

You answered back in silence

But you brightened up the seam

You're the lily that never bloomed

Still

I saved you all this room

On my sill

By my spoon

We grew old in the same small gloom

Oh

Lily that never bloomed

You were my unfinished June

Maybe not every seed

Is meant to split and show

Some hearts stay underneath

Just needing time to grow (mmm)

You're the lily that never bloomed

Still

I saved you all this room

Every year

Same quiet tune

Me and you and a slant of noon

Oh

Lily that never bloomed

I guess I'm a little like you
