Flower

i still hope you’ll flower

you’ll be in bloom

with someone who’ll take

good care of you

i burn up all the blessings in me

the ones i pick up in the bar and in the street

and every day if i can still breathe

there’s no one who can own a single part of me

you’re a song in your mother’s home

falling away from the path that I led you down

you can go telling everyone

things that i do

things that i do

i still hope you’ll flower

you’ll be in bloom

with someone who’ll take

good care of you

it’s only right if he doesn’t cheat

i pray for someone kinder than i could have been

cos even when i'm too gone to see

there’s no one who can own a single part of me

you’re a song in your mother’s home

falling away from the path that I led you down

you can go telling everyone

things that i do

things that i do

i still hope you’ll flower

you’ll be in bloom

with someone who’ll take

good care of you

oooh i still hope you’ll flower

oooh i still hope you’ll flower

everyone will see your name

lighting up a street one day

i’ll learn to enjoy the ache

i have no one else to blame

oooh i still hope you’ll flower

oooh i still hope you’ll flower

i still hope you’ll flower

you’ll be in bloom

with someone who’ll take

good care of you
