Bouquet of Weeds

You gave me a bouquet of weeds Cultivated from the cheapest of seeds Now love can be cruel But you were no fool My beautiful bouquet of weeds It started on a summer night In the city of a thousand lights You went home on the morning flight Something in your smile Stayed with me for a while By the autumn we had made our plans There was trust and such a sweet romance We held the future in our hands But then it went off track You sent my record back! You gave me a bouquet of weeds Cultivated from the cheapest of seeds Now love can be cruel But you were no fool My beautiful bouquet of weeds A woman of wealth and taste Your life is run with organised haste Your beliefs are always firmly embraced But when you started to brood Your email was so crude I couldn't believe what you said Your words still ring in my head It's time to put this story to bed I won't pretend it didn't hit I still love you just a little bit But you gave me a bouquet of weeds Cultivated from the cheapest of seeds Now love can be cruel But you were no fool My beautiful bouquet of weeds You gave me a bouquet of weeds Cultivated from the cheapest of seeds Now love can be cruel But you were no fool My beautiful bouquet of weeds
