She sat inside the window
Surrounded by the blooms
Her colour seemed to fade
It drained into the room
She's lost in her memory
She often wanders in a different place
And when I asked her
Where her feelings lay, she said
I couldn't say, I never reminisce
She whispers to the flowers
The people never buy
Her sorrow seems to know
The bouquet left behind
Her petals were drooping
Though long ago her beauty made them sigh
And when I asked her
Where the future lay she said
I never know, I can't prophesy
Did you ever shed a tear for someone
Did you ever want to lend a hand
Did you ever open the door to find no-one there
The sun is going down
Her petals start to drop
She pulls the shutters to
And closes up the shop
She'll be there tomorrow
Selling blossoms till the end of time
And when I asked her
If she'd go with me, she said
I thank you so but no, I'll decline
Surrounded by the blooms
Her colour seemed to fade
It drained into the room
She's lost in her memory
She often wanders in a different place
And when I asked her
Where her feelings lay, she said
I couldn't say, I never reminisce
She whispers to the flowers
The people never buy
Her sorrow seems to know
The bouquet left behind
Her petals were drooping
Though long ago her beauty made them sigh
And when I asked her
Where the future lay she said
I never know, I can't prophesy
Did you ever shed a tear for someone
Did you ever want to lend a hand
Did you ever open the door to find no-one there
The sun is going down
Her petals start to drop
She pulls the shutters to
And closes up the shop
She'll be there tomorrow
Selling blossoms till the end of time
And when I asked her
