Flowers

Of all the wonderful things I could say

I'm just saying this you make me smile

Complexities, timetables, stresses and finance, your worldly gods

External pressures well none of it really matters

Cause you make me smile

Yeah you make me smile

I know it sounds simple

And I hope on the surface it sounds too pretty

But deeper inside on a carpet ground level

It's all smiles and I thank you

It's all smiles and I thank you

It's all smiles and I could thank you for hours

I wanted to write this song

To put it down in words and music

Like giving you flowers

Only well, that felt, that felt wrong

Flowers felt wrong as I drove past the shop

And I saw the man collecting all the used pots

All the used pots

So now as I roll and I pretend that I, pretend that I have done

These things these things are meaningless

But to one

And that one makes me me smile

And I'm grateful for that

I'm grateful for that

For that, oh

And I know it sounds simple

But on the surface it sounds all pretty and things

But deeper inside on a carpet ground level

It's all smiles and I thank you

It's all smiles and I thank you

It's all smiles and I could thank you for hours

For hours, for hours, for hours

But flowers, they felt wrong
