Flowers Lyrics

My friends they sends us flowers in this springtime

For another that's no longer there to chat

A rose, a couple daisies and some dandelions

They send no card, there is futility in that

A dahlia can't mend a broken heart

Can't fix a fractured love or raise a falling out

But my friends still sends us flowers in the springtime

To remind us of the world's good when I doubt

We send my brother flowers in the summers

Not a brother of my blood, but just the same

June sunshine, it reminds me of his mother

And that his father, he is no longer in pain

I think of black suits, dresses, an old and sweaty chapel

Hank Williams songs, smiling through tears like rain

We'll send my brother flowers in the summers

Til the day he see his father yet again

My family sends us flowers in the spring time

For the baby that's no longer on the way

And Every year the same as was the last time

Each pedal takes the place of things to say

Like 'I'm sorry' and ' I love you' and 'I know this hurts

But each wilting leaf reminds me still of something worse

Yet when my family sends me flowers in the springtime

I know a rose won't bring my daughter forth to nurse

But never have I so looked forward to the curse

Of the reminder: forgetting would be worse

My family sends me flowers in the springtime

To remind me of the world's good when I doubt
