Dying Flowers - John Traynor

Dying flowers still turn to face the sun

 

Revel, exult, rejoice, your eyes, your hair, your voice

Loving you makes me the lucky one

Dying flowers still turn to face the sun

Your smile was like an arc, a bow of brilliant sparks

You lit a fire from which I could not run

Dying flowers still turn to face the sun

 

This upset is bringing me down

Let’s find a way, pride is not the only game to play

Someone, somewhere and somehow

We’ve got to talk, love can be a lonely road to walk

 

The day has lost its light the birds have taken flight

With you I’ll never go where they have gone

Dying flowers still turn to face the sun

 

This upset is bringing me down

Let’s find a way, pride is not the only game to play

Someone, somewhere and somehow

We’ve got to talk, love can be a lonely road to walk

 

The house upon the hill

Has things we never will

But that’s not the hill I want to die upon

Dying Flowers still turn to face the sun

 

The need for love resides in everyone

Dying flowers still turn to face the sun
