The Flowers Lyrics

[00:22.67] The flowers you gave me are rotting
[00:24.35] And still I refuse to throw them away
[00:32.46] Some of the bulbs never opened quite fully
[00:34.50] They might, so I'm waiting and staying awake
[00:43.07] Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep
[00:52.73] I'll never know if I go to sleep
[01:00.60] Eaaa, ahh
[01:07.07] A-da-dum, a-da-dum
[01:10.26] Bum, ba-da-dum
[01:13.72] Waau, ba-daam
[01:25.40] The papers around me are piling and twisting
[01:27.95] Regina the paperback mummy, what then
[01:35.71] I'm taking the knife to the books that I own
[01:38.17] And I'm chopping and chopping and boiling soup from stone
[01:46.61] Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep
[01:56.96] I'll never know if I go to sleep
[02:07.18] Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep
[02:17.49] I'll never know if I go to sleep
[02:27.57] Aah, ooh do doo
[02:37.41] Aah, oh de dah, oh
[02:53.13] Aah, de dah da da
[02:59.11] Ba bum, ba bum
[03:10.11]
