Pressing Flowers by The Civil Wars Lyrics

[Verse 1: John Paul White with Joy Williams]
Meet me in the garden where the weeds grow tall
Down by the gate
I got a secret that I might tell
It'll give me away

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Ooh, whatever you do
Ooh, keep it with you

[Verse 2: John Paul White with Joy Williams]
Meet me on the back porch where ivy climbs
We'll sit on the swing
Soak up the color of the midday sun
While the ocean sings

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Ooh, whatever you do
Ooh, keep it with you

[Bridge: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
You and I, oh, we're just pressing flowers
They are dying
But they're ours
[Verse 2: John Paul White with Joy Williams]
Meet in a poem of an iron bed
Wipe the dust away
Meet me in the tintypes from long ago
Trace the lines of my face

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Ooh, whatever you do
Ooh, keep it with you

[Outro: John Paul White]
Keep it with you
Keep it with you
