watering flowers in the rain

there was a time when i was

working with elvis

nobody ever believes a word

i tell them but it's true

everywhere that he went

well

i went too

he always knew what to do

til he overdid it

watering flowers

in the pouring rain

pouring over memories

to an old refrain

on the head of a pin

in a hurricane

we started falling out of

each others lives when

his wife left him and then

mine left me too

i've always tried not to talk so much

but i still do

the next thing i knew i was

working in a new band

watering flowers

in the pouring rain

pouring over memories

to an old refrain

on the head of a pin

in a hurricane
