Dandelion Songtext
von Larkin Poe

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To say goodbye
To that girl in the coffin over there

Make a wish, blow a kiss, baby, leave me crying
Gather dirt and weeds for her
Sad, sad
Gather dirt and weeds for her
Sad, sad

What will they say about me when I die?
Assuming that they′re still alive
"Such a diva", they all agree
Will they feel the need to lie about me?


Here lies a star
In death she is free and flying
Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss
Sad, sad
Here lies a star
As fierce as the teeth of a lion
Dandelion, dandelion
Sad, sad
Dandelion

Gather dirt and weeds for her
Sad, sad
Gather dirt and weeds for her
Sad, sad

It comes for everyone
So, why should I lose sleep about it?
Anyway, anyway
They got me all dressed up, nowhere to go
Put in this box, locked up safe for ages (safe for ages)
And as they make a slow retreat
With the planting now complete
Knocking dirt up off their feet
Everybody's happy just to hear her


Here lies a star
In death she is free and flying
Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss
Sad, sad
Here lies a star
As fierce as the teeth of a lion
Dandelion, dandelion
Sad, sad
Dandelion

Gather dirt and weeds for her
Gather dirt and weeds for her

Here lies a star
In death she is free and flying
Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss
Sad, sad
Here lies a star
As fierce as the teeth of a lion
Dandelion, dandelion
Sad, sad
Dandelion

Gather dirt and weeds for her
