You say that we are in the shittiest part of a rom-com
Well I say that you’re right but would you let me hold you tight, until the morning
I don’t wanna miss your laugh, I wanna hear it every day my sweet baby
But there’s a time for everything, and I’m afraid that ours is up my little lady
I know you’re gonna find another, yeah yeah
My little yarrow lover
You’re like lavender in summer time and I’ll miss the days when you were mine
And I loved it when you’d kiss my nose and how you look when the light hits you just right
I know you’re gonna find another, yeah yeah yeah
I know that you’re gonna find another
My little yarrow lover
Someday you’re gonna find someone to settle down in a small town with
Just like you always wanted to do but I could not give that life to you
I don’t wanna hold you back so it seems I’ve gotta go my honey
But before I go can I kiss your face and remember the times that I kissed you all over the place
I know you’re gonna find another, yeah yeah
I know that you’re gonna find another
Yeah I know I know I know, I know I know I know
I know that you’re gonna find another

The rain’s reminding me of how you said you didn’t care
About the weather anyhow
I know that you prefer it sunny
I like the time we spent inside your room with the lights off
You wrapped me in a warm sheet
Then you took my clothes off
I took your clothes off
I wish you’d have thought about this a bit sooner than
You did, you did
Cause now my heart is on the floor
Heart is on the floor
But I know you had the best intentions you’re so sweet
And thats what makes this hard for me,
Thats what makes this hard for me
Now it’s 4AM and I cannot fall asleep cause I am
Starin out my window, thinkin of how you let me go
Time passes but but I wish the clock would speed up

Do you remember walkin’ through the fields
I was so afraid of getting ticks on my heels
But you told me, that it was okay
So I stayed anyway yeah I stayed
Do you remember drivin’ to the beach
In my old shit car, you in the passenger seat
When we got there, it started to storm
But we stayed anyway yeah we stayed
I don’t want you to forget that
I know I won’t forget that
Do you remember sittin’ in your backyard
Getting drunk on wine, fingers scratchin’ your spine
When we woke up, we layed in your bed
And we stayed there all day yeah we stayed
I don’t want you to forget that
I know I won’t forget that
Do you remember standing in the cold
You were so afraid that I was letting you go
Then we went back home and we laid on the floor
Then we talked all night but I still walked out the door
And I’m sorry, that I left anyway, that I left anyway
I know you won’t forget that
But I hope you can forgive that

Walkin through the fields of yellow I stumbled upon
One lonely flower, her petals were facing the sun
She grew up so tall, nothing could make that thing fall
Till someone came along and said, I want that one in my bed
And took her home
Ooh
Ooh
Dip my feet into the cool blue water by the bridge
I like the sound of it rushing around, pooling in the ditch
But someone wanted her all to themselves so they dried up the lake
Some people don’t realize what they’re doing, until it’s too late
Ooh
Ooh
Run my fingers down the bark of an oak in the yard
Watching the branches sway in the wind, when life gets hard
But they didn’t want her to live past her prime, so they cut her down like the cherry and pine
Put some seeds in the space but there’s nothing that can replace, the damage done
Ooh
Ooh
Sweet little honey bee buzzing around, takes only what she needs without a sound
Butterflies kissing my hot freckled skin, these tender moments seem to be wearing thin
Red tails flying so high up above, can we get back to the way that it was
The way that it was
Ooh
Ooh

This Mess

Wake up slow
Time to go
I roll out of bed and hit, the road
Hour drive
Hand on my thigh
I roll the windows down, and sigh
She said don’t let the moments pass, you by
Drive back home
Stare at my phone
And I’m rollin’ once again, I guess
What the fuck did I do to deserve this mess
Small pear tree
Front porch swing
Are daily reminders that I do not have her
Yeah when I said I was done
It wasn’t just for fun
But now I’ve changed my mind
I wish I had her back
But I can’t change that

Stand in the Joy
by William Prince
supported by 4 fans who also own “Yarrow Lover”
This album is an old soul that has come to us from the past in some sort of Mandela effect time bend. I think it has already existed for many years and it inspired Elvis and Johnny Cash to make music how they did. It is sonically perfect.
