cut flowers

sentimental gestures never

meant that much to me

but if i had her here today

i'd shed a tear for all the world to see

cut flowers sent

to a girl with sentimental ways

cut flowers meant

more to her on ordinary days

a gentle girl who needed

all the love i had to give

but i was blind to her and would not

give her what she needed most to live

cut flowers sent

to a girl with sentimental ways

cut flowers meant

more to her on ordinary days

cut flowers

flowers

flowers

cut flowers

flowers

flowers

cut flowers pressed between the pages

of a book she gave

i go to her and say i'm sorry"
