Bring me a rose

Every now and then I think of you
And where you might be now
My memories are just a version of the truth
I know you left in that northern breeze

When I grow up I wanna be
A picture of my mother holding onto me
When I show up I wanna see
That some things are worth waiting for
I wanna be

Where did you go? I cannot see
Through your castles in the sky
Where the tiger lilies are blowing free
You might be waiting for me one more time

When I grow up I wanna be
A picture of my mother holding onto me
When I show up I wanna see
That some things are worth waiting for
I wanna be

Please won't you call me a rose?
I could be so sweet
Please won't you bring me a rose?
Don't have to be so mean

When I grow up I wanna be
A picture of my mother holding onto me
When I show up I wanna see
That some things are worth waiting for
I wanna be
