Strawbs: The Flower and the Young Man

While seasons change in timely way
The salt sea ever flows
Where open moors lie cold and bleak
A single flower grows

Though winter snows fall deep and long
The flower grows the while
The weary traveller passing by
Feels warmer for her smile

Sunshine and the tender flower
Both melt the young man's heart
But he who lingers waits his turn
Must learn to play his part

Through summer days of warmth and love
The young man tends his flower
But blinded by her colours bright
Heeds not the passing hour

The autumn trees once clothed with gold
Now frayed and sadly worn
The flower bids a chill farewell
The young man's heart is torn

While seasons change in timely way
The salt sea ever flows
Where open moors lie cold and bleak
A single flower grows
 
Gone Away - The Offspring

I lay flowers on your grave
To show that I still care
Black roses and Hail Marys
Can't bring back
What's taken from me

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
Oh God if I could trade
Then I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven is so far away
And it stings
And it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away



The Earl
