Flower Man

Текст песни

[Verse 1] He rolls his cart past the bakery door Buckets of color across the floor Mara buys daisies, two for the train He ties them up with a piece of red twine [Pre-Chorus] Every stem has a story to tell Every face gets a little less pale [Chorus] Flower man, where are you going? With your pockets full of seeds Flower man, keep the garden growing Leave a little joy for me [Verse 2] He knows which roses survive the heat Which violet bends when the rain comes down He gives a sprig to the tired cashier And hums a tune that softens the town [Pre-Chorus] Every stem has a story to tell Every face gets a little less pale [Chorus] Flower man, where are you going? With your pockets full of seeds Flower man, keep the garden growing Leave a little joy for me [Bridge] When winter shuts the market gates He saves one bulb beneath the stairs By spring, a window fills with green And strangers stop to breathe the air [Final Chorus] Flower man, now I know you’re going Past the corner, down the lane Flower man, keep the garden growing Come around this way again [Outro] Come around this way again With your pockets full of seeds
