Dandelion - Larkin Poe

«Dearly beloved

We are gathered here today

To say 'Goodbye'

To that girl in the coffin over there»

(Make a wish, blow a kiss, baby

Leave me crying)

(Gather dirt and weeds for her)

(So hard, so hard)

(Gather dirt and weeds for her)

(So hard, so hard)

What will they say

About me when I die?

Assuming that they’re still alive

«Such a diva,"they all agreed

Will they feel the need to lie about me?

Here lies a star

In death she is free and flying

Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss

Here lies a star

As fierce as the teeth of a lion

Dandelion, dandelion, dandelion

(Gather dirt and weeds for her)

(Gather dirt and weeds for her)

It comes for everyone

So why should I lose sleep about it?

Anyway, anyway

They got me all dressed up no where to go

But in this box, locked up, safe for ages

And as they make a slow retreat

With the planting now complete

Knocking dirt off of their feet

Everybody’s happy just to hear a…

Here lies a star

In death she is free and flying

Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss

Here lies a star

As fierce as the teeth of a lion

Dandelion, dandelion, dandelion

(Gather dirt and weeds for her)

(Gather dirt and weeds for her)

Here lies a star

In death she is free and flying

Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss

Here lies a star

As fierce as the teeth of a lion

Dandelion, dandelion, dandelion

(Gather dirt and weeds for her)
