Written by John Wesley Coleman III originally recorded on his album The Last Donkey Show

lyrics

Flower In The Dark (John Wesley Coleman III)

In the ground, where there is no sound at all, the walls made of stone, the sweet divine
Blood turns to sand, there’s a woman waiting there, with eyes in the dark
And I burn, in the backyard, just waiting for her to talk
Oh darlin, you carried me through, to a place we call home
Oh darlin, you carried me through, you’re my flower in the dark
There is a woman, standing in my grave, she won’t let me go home
There is a woman, standing in my grave, she won’t let me go home
Oh darlin, you carried me through, to a place we call home
Oh darlin, you carried me through, you’re my flower in the dark
