Killin' the Flower

from Ferris Wheel by Shiny and the Spoon

/

lyrics

It’s been a long
Long couple of days
Since you walked on out
Since you walked away
You said you’d love me forever
Tell me what went wrong
Now you’re killin’ the flower
That’s grown for so long

You said you had to go
You said I pushed you away
So go sow your seed
On someone else’s grave
You said you’d love me forever
But now you’ve left me alone
And honey, it ain’t easy
When you don’t come home

Late at night I toss and turn
But I don’t think of you
I think of all those budding blooms
The girls you’re lyin’ to

Oh, if only I could tell ‘em what is comin’
Give ‘em a fair warning
They’d grow so tall without you

Baby, I was true
I know you liked it that way
But another’s arms
Are where you wanted to stay
I gave you all of my good times
Till you painted them blue
Just a bit of sunshine
Is all I needed from you

Just a bit of sunshine is all I needed from you
