Wither lyrics - Frank Ocean

Over where the trees burn down

The place where the fields went down in flames

We could put a hole in the ground

Throw seeds and dance for rain

It takes a mind to worry

A conscience to feel ashamed

But there's no place to hide out here

These skies are filled with planes

And both our hands are filthy

Pointing up at the moon

And tonight I'll hold you close, close enough to bruise

Hope a garden grows where we dance this afternoon

Hope our children walk by spring when flowers bloom

Hope they'll get to see my color

Know that I've enjoyed sunshine

Pray they'll get to see me, me wither (when I was young)

See me (too) wither

(When I was young)

Know that (me) I've enjoyed the sunshine

When I was young, know it happens all—(me)

Know that I've enjoyed the sunshine—(me)

Know it happens all (me)—all the time (me)

Know it happens all (me)—all the time (me)

When I was young (me, me)
