lyrics

Flowers
(March 20, 2020)

When I pick a flower from the field… I place it in your mind
I never pick the Flowers from the field… Oh, that would be unkind
And all the Flowers in the neighbourhood… They do envy you
And all the lonely people wish they could
Have what we do too… Yes they do… Envy you… Yes, they do.

Everyday you’re here inside my mind
There’s no better place for you than in my head
Everyday I know what I will find
The things we did, the memories, the things we said
The day we wed.

When I pick a colour to paint you… I pick a peach pastel
I place you in the heart of Taylor Park with Flowers everywhere
And all the creatures in the park appear… At least, the ones I drew
And all the songbirds in the nearby woods
They sing their song for you… Yes they do… Sing for you… Oh, yes they do.

Everyday you’re here inside my mind
There’s no better place for you than in my head
Everyday I know what I will find
The things we did, those memories, the day we wed.

The things we said to each other
No, those weren’t merely words
They were promises that we have kept
Not just nouns and verbs
These words are still alive…
Like the Flowers in the field
And the creatures in the Park
And the Songbirds in the trees beyond
They sing their song… I could go on and on…

Yes, when I pick a colour to paint you… I choose that peach pastel
I place you in the heart of Taylor Park with Flowers everywhere.
