Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 u live

Why lily so red one might dread the fire you light to the eyes in my head.

Your petals so fine one might shed a tear to see them fall or make me shy to present them to you.


I n silence your words so loud  the figure so fine .

Your perfume to entice does drift and slice like a knife.

To fall to the ground might damage my pride

To carry you away and lay you down with a kiss.

Present you as a gift with expectation of heat.

Burning with love my hart is on fire your flame is now licking my body.

Come quench my thirst with your pollen of life.

Soon you will dry and finally die.

A moment in time is all that we shared.

It was I that planted your bulb ,nourished and tendered the soil from which you grew.

The darkness behind the flower

Darkness has shadowed my life and some times changed my day in to night.

Thoughts of past times long drifted away some times return like brightness of day.

I some times ponder with thoughts of what should,could or might have been.

What I know now is that although what I did or have done in the past bears little resemblance on what I wanted to be deep down inside.

Lost in the confusion when brushed by the tar of those that played the role of control.

Wanting to fit in and find direction with or from those that where lost makes no sense at all.

Now I feel my self unwind,free from the vales that covered me the chains that held me. The menace that suppressed me.

Long time it has been recovering from the depth I did fall.

The darkness can only be lifted by light as we climb out of the hole that held so tight.

The light that comes from beauty around is equal to that that can be found within.

As some try to change them selfs to meet what others would like

they forget that the real gift is within side each to there own god given talent.
