bouquet Lyrics

A few months passed

'Till again they bloomed

Winter was long

But spring returned anew

I wish you'd seen

How they looked that night

Unveiling all their sorrows

Hugged the ground real tight

Now every dawn

Set aside a bouquet

For the day you'll return

So many I've arranged

Line them up

Old and new

Joined by mourning doves

Waiting for you

Well it is what it is sometimes

Gaze at the sky, but the stars are in her eyes

Reflections are fine, but they don't show what's inside

All the petals

They crumble and die

A few months passed

'Till a letter arrived

You'll take a bit longer

And I should wait inside

The days cut short

Flowers old

No more mourning doves

Stories untold

Darling, what's the matter

You withhold your embrace and I gather

Your company's your own

But the garden knows you most

You're already a ghost

But I remember

You'd be back come September

Well it is what it is sometimes

Gaze at the sky, but the stars are in her eyes

Reflections are fine, but they don't show what's inside

All the petals

They crumble and die

You forget those bouquets aren't mine
