Lyrics
Bought you for five dollars at the garden store
Brought you home, stuck you on the porch outside
Didn't know you couldn't take the sun
By the time I brought you in you'd almost died
Peace Lily - Gotta give you enough water
Peace Lily - Gotta give you enough thought
Peace Lily - Gotta give you rich dark soil
and put you in a cool and shady spot
Shiny green leaves big as frying pans
Single white flower every month or so
I look at you and I feel, well ... peaceful
Wish I took more time to watch you grow
Peace Lily - Do I give you enough water?
Peace Lily - Do I give you enough thought?
Peace Lily - Are you trying to tell me
to put you in a brightly painted pot?
Noticed you today and you had wilted
Filled up a pitcher and I gave you a drink
You sprang to life before my very eyes
Now I'll sit beside you - tell me what you think
Peace Lily - says give me enough water
Peace Lily - says give me enough thought
Peace Lily - says stop and I will help you
to untie life's complicated knot
Just sit down in this cool and shady spot
