Lyrics
Flowers For Troubled Eyes
I met a girl her name was Fate
She asked me why I came so late
I told her look the day is done
Just take my hand away we?ll run
The doors were locked we couldn?t leave
I had no choice but to watch her grieve
Just like the flowers that don?t bloom
Your eyes that stare across the room
They?re like the bride without a ring
Why have a love that you don?t bring
Just like the fortune you don?t make
What good?s a gift that you don?t take?
And like the music you don?t sing
The love you make don?t mean a thing
The love you make don?t mean a thing
She crawled across the naked floor
She begged and screamed for just one more
I told her look the sun?s above
Open your eyes accept my love
I sat and cried with her a while
We prayed that one day she might smile
But like the superficial lies
That stick like glue to troubled eyes
when hope has turned itself to fear
The past is gone the present here
Just like the line that almost rhymes
I?ll get to you somehow in time
And like the feelings you won?t touch
I want to hold you now so much
I want to hold you now so much
Just like the roses you don?t send
To wounded hearts that will not mend
They?re like the snow still in July
Those flowers for her troubled eyes
Those flowers for her troubled eyes
