Broken Window Serenade

A couple of purty flowers That's what I brought to you I saw you through a broken window With a different point of view You had signs of depression From a long line of sin And your face tells a story 'bout the places you have been I love you so I thought you should know And that muddy waters flowin' And as you take my hand Past the creek down by the holler Through your daddy's land And I could buy you a diamond But I cannot change the world 'Cause I ain't got no money You'll never be my girl... no I thought you should know And you was gonna be a singer And a big movie star But you can't catch no breaks, baby And Hollywood is hard Now you work down at the Time Out Off of 155 And you're dancing for your dollar Just tryin' to stay alive It hurts me so I thought you should know You feed your addiction With your crystal meth And I plea for your life As it takes you to your death You make your deal with the devil As your looks begin to fade I saw you laughin' through the tears As you slowly slipped away I watched you go I thought you should know Yeah, I watched you go I thought you should know And that cold rain is pourin' As they lay you in a grave And I can barely recognize you In your fragile state No more signs of depression From a long time ago I throw in a purty flower As they slowly laid you low, it was a rose I thought you should know And there it was a rose I thought you should know A couple of purty flowers That's what I brought to you I saw you through a broken window With a different point of view...
