I LOVE songs that are stories, they are probably my favourite songs to listen to over and over, this is one of my favourites, the song is really beautiful. But I'm not going to tell you who sings it otheriwse trust me, you would LAUGH.
'I saw him on a Friday outside some run down saloon
He was cryin over someone that he felt left much too soon
I said, hey boy don't you cry tonight
Let me take you out on this town
He looked at me and smiled as one last tear splashed off the ground
With half a wink he asked me what are you some kind of freak
I told him no, I guess I just feel your vibe is kinda deep
The moon hung over soho
And I counted 16 stars
I pointed at the brightest one and said now that one's ours
He's a dandelion,
Up on a cliff above the sea
He's not exactly everything I thought that he might be
He's a dandelion
He looks like everything I need
I thought he was a flower
But I found out he's a weed
And I hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
He just might be poison
But I took him to my roof top
I said are you afraid of heights,
He said no I am not
I said hey boy don't you lie to me, tell me everything you feel
We danced around in circles,
He said I think we found something real
He's a dandelion,
Up on a cliff above the sea
He's not exactly everything I thought that he might be
He's a dandelion
He looks like everything I need
I thought he was a flower
But I found out he's a weed
And I hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
Down in union square
I saw him walking all alone
I walked a little slower just so I'd remain unknown
He met someone on seventeenth and he knew her all too well
My little piece of heaven has a secret he won't tell
With half a smile he took her hand
And then they walked away
I realized I wouldn't see my boy after today
Fell in love with a dandelion
And he's all I ever had
At first he looked so sweet
But in the end he did so bad
He's a dandelion,
Up on a cliff above the sea
He's not exactly everything I thought that he might be
He's a dandelion
He looks like everything I need
I thought she was a flower
But I found out he's a weed
And I hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
And I hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
