bill callahan – baby’s breath lyrics
there grows a weed, looks like a flower
looks like baby’s breath on a mirror
my girl and i rushed atop the altar
the sacrifice was made
it was not easy undertaking
the roots gripped soft like a living grave
oh young girl at the wedding
baby’s breath in her hair
a crowning lace above her face
that will last a day
before it turns to hay
good plans are made by hand
i’d cut a clearing in the land
and for a little bed
for her to cry comfortable in
and each day i looked out on the lawn
and i wondered what all was gone
until i saw it was lucky old me
how could i run without losing anything?
how could i run without becoming lean?
it was agreed, it was agreed
it was me tearing out the baby’s breath
oh i am a helpless man, so help me
i’m on my knees gardening
it was not a weed, it was a flower
my baby’s gone, oh where has my baby gone?
and she was not a weed, she was a flower
and now i know you must reap what you sow, or sing
