lyrics

Like a dead end dove
Been rationing my love song
Black ink on my hands
Listing out right from wrong
Luck on my side
Like light pouring through stained glass
But dearest Miss May
How would it really last?

Eleanora
I'm all for ya
But I can't
make up my mind
I can't make up my mind
Mama Flora
Says she told ya
My choice Is coming with time
My choice is coming with time

A perennial can bloom
If flowers don't grow
But the buds are a tomb
For the breeze to blow
The roots will be there
Or we might as well trust
But even with care
We could just be dust

Enough is enough
I'm tired of hanging on
In a game you can’t win
I feel like I’m just a pawn

Something simple inside
Ya hearing it from the birds
But ya building a book
trying to put it to words

Oh Eleano-oh-oh-oh-rah
I’m all for ya oh… (x2)
Oh Mama Flo-oh-oh-oh-rah
Says she told ya no (x2) x2

[Whistles]

Eleanora
is all for ya
so won't you make up your mind
just make your mind
Mama Flora
Coulda told ya
that I won't be waiting this time
Don't be wasting my time
