My Daisy

Oh Daisy, my daisy, where did you go? I miss your deep colors, I miss your pure glow. Oh Daisy, my daisy, where did you run? My time here is gone and soon I'll be numb. Up in the mountains, or over the streams. Perhaps in the meadows, or under the trees. I stand here in shadows, looking for light, But nothing does come on this shallow, poor night. Oh Daisy, my daisy, where did you go? I miss your deep colors, I miss your pure glow. Oh Daisy, my daisy, where did you run? My time here is gone and soon I'll be numb. Here they come with untamed reigns, Gnawing and grinding at my free chains Their loose jowls pour over my blood, As I sit here afraid of what I have done. Oh Daisy, my daisy, where did you go? I miss your deep colors, I miss your pure glow. Oh Daisy, my daisy, where did you run? My time here is gone and soon I'll be numb. I'm sorry my dear, I'm sorry I doubted. I believe in your ways and now know you have sprouted. Save me, my love, for you are my hope, The dogs now come to chew on my bones. Oh Daisy, my daisy, where did you go? I miss your deep colors, I miss your pure glow. Oh Daisy, my daisy, where did you run? My time here is gone and soon I'll be numb. I've planted you deep within your own dirt, And regret my mistake as I sit by the hearth. My tears continue to water your bed, So open your heart and hear what I've said. Oh Daisy, my daisy, where did you go? I miss your deep colors, I miss your pure glow. Oh Daisy, my daisy, where did you run? My time here is gone and soon I'll be numb. Are my prayers wasted, am I to blame? I've given you my pride and all I have gained. I'm humbled by fear, and choke on my lies, But I give you my all, just look at my eyes. Oh Daisy, my daisy, where did you go? I miss your deep colors, I miss your pure glow. Oh Daisy, my daisy, where did you run? My time here is gone and soon I'll be numb. Take my hand, my sweet lover's sin, And hold me close as the pain draws in. Look to the light and relinquish your grief, For the good father's here at the time of your peace. Oh Daisy, my daisy, I've seen where you go. I see your deep colors, I see your pure glow. Oh Daisy, my daisy, together we run. My time here is forever and I'll never feel numb.
