Saw him on a Friday outside some run down saloon he was cryin over someone that he felt left much too soon I said, hey boy don’t you cry tonight let me take you out on this town he looked at me and smiled as one last tear splashed off the ground with half a wink he asked me what are you some kind of freak I told him no, I guess I just feel your vibe is kinda deep the moon hung over soho and I counted 16 stars I pointed at the brightest one and said now that one’s ours he’s a dandelion, up on his hill above the sea he’s not exactly everything I thought that he might be
he’s a dandelion he looks like everything I need I thought he was a flower but I found out he’s a weed
Then I hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on he might just be poison but I took him to my roof top I said are you afraid of heights, He said no I am not I said hey boy don’t you lie to me, tell me everything you feel we danced around in circles, He said I think we found something real he’s a dandelion, up on his cliff above the sea he’s not exactly everything I thought that he might be
he’s a dandelion he looks like everything I need I thought he was a flower but I found out he’s a weed
Then I hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on Down in union square I saw him walking all alone I walked a little slower just so I’d remain unknown he met someone on seventeenth that he knew her all too well my little piece of heaven has a secret he won’t tell with half a smile he took her hand and then they walked away I realized I would not see my boy after today I fell in love with a dandelion and he’s all I ever had at first he looked so sweet but in the end he tastes so bad he’s a dandelion, up on his cliff above the sea he’s not exactly everything I thought that he might be
