Cut Flowers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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"
Then I put cut flowers on her grave
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
