lyrics

Patiently you sit across the room
In a wooden glass case with a face
That was carefully painted on
With a brush and a kiln that you kept
In the back of the yard

So carefully you watch the people as they pass by
With their books and their looks
Which are no more than asides
And the rooster sound
And the geese they fly
But the little porcelain girl
Is still here with a tear in her eye

Just a shelf below
Is ten a thousand fish
They swim outside the bowl
And are caught in the ceramic waves
In an ocean that was made of clay
If you listen you can still hear her say

I was meant to live above the sea
And when it rains will you think of me
The porcelain girl sitting,
Sitting still with the tear in her eye

So will you please come visit me?
I love when you come to this I love to come to this place
Just remember to bring flowers
Just remember to bring flowers

Flowers for the little girl
Flowers for the little girl
The little girl who’s painted on the side
Of this tiny porcelain vase.
