the flowers I brought you
have plenty of water
every time I come see you
your house is in order

kept by a queen and a knave
and also the stranger
by your grave

the flowers I brought you
have plenty of water
every time I come see you
your house is order

brought to the brink of the brave
thanks to the stranger
by your grave

the flowers I brought you
have plenty of water
every time I come see you
your house is order

you savaged what you couldn’t save
you and the stranger
by your grave

the flowers I brought you
have plenty of water
every time I come see you
your house is order

you drove the road they didn’t pave
in search of the stranger
by your grave

the flowers I brought you
have plenty of water
every time I come see you
your house is order

you kept all the love that I gave
to show to the stranger
by your grave

the flowers I brought you
have plenty of water
every time I come see you
your house is order
