But we should have expected
‘Cause you bloom every year
You move as the kitties brush past you
And they don’t have to ask you
To make room for them here
Spider lily, I want to keep you safe
Stay here with me, I think we’ve found our place
I feel like it’s our fate
I knew from the day that you picked me
That our days would pass quickly
And one day you’d be gone
Time flew, but you filled it completely
Just like honey so sweetly
We sang a happy song
Spider lily, I want to keep you safe
Stay here with me, I think we’ve found our place
Oh, spider lily
Shine your beauty bright
Summer evenings, and on through the night
With you it feels so right
You left when we least expected
But we should have expected
That you couldn’t stay here
Wish you could’ve stayed here
