Lyrics: It rained the whole day he spent at his lover's grave Said his goodbyes to her family and friends Packed his things in a rusted car and rode off in the rain He came upon a church in ruin with an old man dwelling within Who said, "Watch where you straying, my friend" Old man spoke of meanings lost and without name Never shifting from their worn and weathered place What was found in the endless search for truth behind the tale Beneath the ash and ember lies only one story to tell Watch where you straying my friend There's a flower that grows in a cave So lovely to see but need to be saved Its' beautiful blossom will wither and die If ever this flower leave the darkness for daylight

I was at this show, it's 2002 (Captured in full on the 'World Drifts In' DVD) fell in love with them from that moment
sigo amando este temazo!!
A masterpiece that is so underrated
Beautifully powerfull and gentle..intense and strong
Lyrics:
It rained the whole day he spent at his lover's grave
Said his goodbyes to her family and friends
Packed his things in a rusted car and rode off in the rain
He came upon a church in ruin with an old man dwelling within
Who said, "Watch where you straying, my friend"
Old man spoke of meanings lost and without name
Never shifting from their worn and weathered place
What was found in the endless search for truth behind the tale
Beneath the ash and ember lies only one story to tell
Watch where you straying my friend
There's a flower that grows in a cave
So lovely to see but need to be saved
Its' beautiful blossom will wither and die
If ever this flower leave the darkness for daylight
Люблю вас ❤
