Lyrics

I NEVER WOULD HAVE BROUGHT YOU FLOWERS

I’m reading Palahniuk
And feeling oh so clever
Sometimes I don’t know what he is trying to say
I never would have brought you flowers
If I’d known that you would feel this way

Passing by the miles
Never ending
The pictures on the billboards turn to faded blue
I never would have brought you flowers
If I’d known that you were leaving too

The willows and the rushes
How they whistle
The flute song that I thought I heard the piper play
I never would have dreamed the dream
If I had known that I would wake today

I’ll be waving from the train
That leaves tomorrow
I don’t believe I ever had a chance to say
I never would have brought you flowers
If I’d known that you would feel this way

c. 8.11 Pearson
