"What Might Have Been" lyrics - REGINA SPEKTOR

Sickness and flowers go together
Bombing and shelters go together
Laughing and hurting go together
Finding and keeping go together

[Chorus:]
Canary yellow, mustard yellow
Yellow tear stains on old pillows
Everyone loves a story
About long, long ago

Pirates and parrots go together
Sticks and carrots go together
Loving and leaving go together
Lies and believing go together

[Chorus:]
Canary yellow, mustard yellow
Yellow tear stains on old pillows
Everyone loves a story
About far, far away

Living and dying go together
Business and crying go together
Passion and madness go together
Yellow and sadness go together

[Chorus:]
Canary yellow, mustard yellow
Yellow tear stains on old pillows
Everyone loves a story
About far, far away
Everyone loves a story
About long, long ago
And what, what might've been
