Flowers [Eurydice’s Song] [Finnish translation]

[EURYDICE]

What I wanted was to fall asleep

Close my eyes and disappear

Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air

Lily white and poppy red

I trembled when he laid me out

You won’t feel a thing, he said, when you go down

Nothing gonna wake you now

Dreams are sweet until they’re not

Men are kind until they aren’t

Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart

Is anybody listening?

I open my mouth and nothing comes out

Nothing

Nothing gonna wake me now

Flowers, I remember fields

Of flowers, soft beneath my heels

Walking in the sun

I remember someone

Someone by my side

Turned his face to mine

And then I turned away

Into the shade

You, the one I left behind

If you ever walk this way

Come and find me lying in the bed I made
