You are my cottonflower

 You are the one forever

 Your smile is like a little wrinkle

 Don't suffer, babe, just let it trickle

 This is my lucky hour

 Let us spend it together

 You keep me warm each time I travel

 You give me shelter from the drizzle

 Sing this song for you to sing when I'm gone

 I'm bleeding, bleeding hard.



 You are my cottonflower

 I'm nothing but the lonely rider

 I don't wonder who is right or is wrong

 Sing this song for you to sing when I'm gone.



 I am your purple spider

 My hose are getting wider

 Eventhough there're a robin's crying

 I Don't worry cause I'm only dying

 Sing this song for you to sing when I'm gone

 It don't hurt no more now.



 You've seen a thousand like me

 I'm not the first one, I'm not the only one

 The best one, the first one, the last one

 You've seen a thousand like me

 Won't you turn off your TV?



 I'm nothing but a lonely soldier

 I don't wonder who is right who is wrong

 Sing this song for you to sing when I'm gone

 I'm gone, now I'm gone

 I'm gone.



 You are my cottonflower

 You are my cottonflower... 



 Cancer riding on my chest

 Soon I'll return to dust and rest
