Bonsai

You grew out of me like a splinter

You grew on me like an East Coast winter

And I grew too tall to see you below

I hit the ceiling and had no place to go

Tie me up like a bonsai

You can shape my mind’s eye

I want to see the crystal light

I want to know what love is like

Want to know what love is like

I tossed a coin that has been falling for years

Down a well made up of tears

Wishing for a cool wind

To turn me around

To find the treasure

Laying out on the ground

Tie me up like a bonsai

You can shape my mind’s eye

I want to see the crystal light

I want to know what love is like

Want to know what love is like

I want to know what love is like
