Wysteria
Indigo Girls · Other Songs - Indigo Girls
Did you change your face again
Those of us who loved you when
Can't even find you
Wysteria
Did you lose another man
Did you make him understand
That he can't touch you
Wysteria
Did he take you to the fair
Were the folks that you met there
The same that we met
Wysteria
Did he teach you how to dance
Did he bring you paper fans
To hide your secrets
Was he just like all the rest
When he got to the sad part
Did he stay a bit too long
To save his heart
Was he just like all the rest
When he got to the sad part
Did he stay a bit too long
To save his heart
Wysteria
Are your lips still lily white
Do they still bloom just at night
And die at sunrise
