Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You are my cottonflower
You are the one forever
Your smile is like a little wrinkle
Don't suffer, babe, just let it trickle
[Verse 2]
This is my lucky hour
Let us spend it together
You keep me warm each time I travel
You give me shelter from the drizzle
[Verse 3]
Sing this song for you to sing when I'm gone
I'm bleeding, bleeding hard
[Verse 4]
You are my cottonflower
I ain't nothing but a lonely rider
I do not know who is right or is wrong
Sing this song for you to sing when I'm gone
[Verse 5]
I am your purple spider
My holes are getting wider
Even though I hear a robin's crying
I don't worry 'cause I'm only dying
[Verse 6]
Sing this song for you to sing when I'm gone
It don't hurt no more, ma
[Verse 7]
You've seen a thousand like me
I'm not the first one, I'm not the only one
The best one, the worst one, or the last one
You've seen a thousand like me
Won't you turn off your TV?
[Verse 8]
I ain't nothing but a lonely soldier
I do not know who is right, who is wrong
Sing this song for you to sing when I'm gone
I'm gone, now I'm gone
I'm gone
[Verse 9]
You are my cottonflower
You are my cottonflower
Farewell cottonflower
[Verse 10]
Ants are riding on my chest
Soon I'll return to dust and rest
