I saw him on a Friday outside sun run down saloon He was crying 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 kind of deep" The moon hung over soho and I counted sixteen stars I pointed at the brightest one and said that ones ours He's a dandelion uppon a 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 And I hold on hold on hold on... Hold on hold on hold on... He just might be poison but I took him to my rooftop I said "Are you afraid of heights?" he said "No, I am not" I said "Hey boy, don't 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 uppon a 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 And 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 remain unknown Then someone on seventh 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 wouldn't see my boy after today Fell in love with a dandelion and he's all I've ever had At first he looks so sweet but in the end he tastes so bad He's a dandelion uppon a 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 And I hold on hold on hold on... Hold on hold on hold on...
