Story Behind The Song

I liked this girl, she didn't like me quite as much as I liked her, but she inspired me to write a song. I can hear Michael Stipe singing the lead vocals

Song Description

THe first stages of a relationship, when all is beautiful

Lyrics

you are like a flower blooming in the wild beautiful and innocent never more a child,
do I get to know you do I stay away
would everybody tell us no or would love find a way

you are the reason that I live
the love you give me moves me day to day
you need the love I have to give
you stole my heart you did my child let's spread our wings and fly away....

cruising on the fumes as the morning sunrise blooms
the air is sweet and full of life you soft scent genly looms,
I feel you with me all the time even when we are apart
but I'm afraid to tell you how I feel cuz you might break my heart

the laughing mime is hiding beneath his cool facade
his destiny's been guiding him against uneven odds
I must admit I'm awe inspired with your beauty and your grace
but I don't know if I can deal with the pain I might face


on rainy night the droplets dance upon my trailer roof
irealize somethings missing caring trust and truth
please don't worry lovely one you'll always have a friend in me
but I cannot help but think how happy we could be
