The Lilac Bush Lyrics - Singles - Slow Dakota

One day I came close 

To giving up my ghost; 

I put my chin inside 

A mouth of knotted rope! 

But instead of stopping, 

My heart began to fly; 

A dove perched on my shoulder, 

And whispered in my ear: 

"Each day God comes home 

With lilacs from His bush; 

He picks them all for you, 

His chosen darkling thrush!"
