Tulip
Jesca Hoop

Other
My rarest
Fall from the desert valley
We'll have a fire and skin a snow
I've cost me to the lights of the desert mountains
In search of a cure for the rampant fever
You're beauty's power, it plagues me now
I come and scout the land for the desert flower

The beauty and perfume must stake my house and my lands
The gold is sleeping in the river
Put the flowers in my hand
With a bitter leaf and broken petal, I'll beg the queen and king
Into the golds with my flower, I'll buy your wedding ring

Tulip, tulip
With one that I would buy
I'll send you chicken and weed and rye, and end on the north sweet side
Tulip, tulip
With one that I would buy
Finest dressed that a man could buy and a girl that could be my bride


Then with
My rarest
Fall to her father's garden
Like gold for limo
I'll give that man the bold for his daughter
Your heart is mine, and is mine forever
And she will plague my fate devise
And yonder the sunrise
And it's tethered me to the sky

The mage are aged
The foul exchanging
And the dog flew away
The bells spilled out the hollow canyon on our wedding day
To me she gave she gave her hand
And till death do us part
But the bird won't last with the one she will promised to hold

Tulip, tulip
With one that I did buy
The bed from which our sons will rise
And the window that she where she cries
Tulip, tulip
With one that I did buy
And out to catch the birds
Fly from the window that where she cries

Here is your heart
That I withdraw
Spilling the flowers and bright from his paw
The broken petals climbing the walls
Stealing my oxygen, no air at all
From the bed I hear him call
But I answer cooing when the night falls
The cutting sword is storming the halls
Cutting my vision to no sight at all

I type
The two written round
And act like a red light sinking
And blind from spinning round and round and round
To the banks of the river
And then woke
My true love
Into the rushing waters
And by it along, their bating rip, pull my love under until she drowns


The beauty and perfume might stick
My house and my land
My love is sleeping my room
With the flowers in my hand
With a bigger leaf and a broken petal I'll keep her all to me
And to the river I'll hear my true love sing

The old water is still my friend
Ready to drown
Water, oh water, oh water my king
Carry me up
My river is mostly out last
I guess she laughs
He is waiting by the dove's nest
My true love...

Tulip, tulip
With one that I did buy
Failed at waiting in my bed
Because my true love did die
Tulip, tulip...
