Flowers Grave lyrics

Song information

Artist: Tom Waits
Album: Alice

Lyrics

Someday the silver moon and I will go to dreamland
I will close my eyes and wake up there in dreamland
And tell me who will put flowers on a flower's grave?
Who will say a prayer?

Will I meet a china rose there in dreamland?
Or does love lie bleeding in dreamland?
Are these days forever and always?

And if we are to die tonight
Is there a moonlight up ahead?
And if we are to die tonight
Another rose will bloom

For a faded rose
Will I be the one that you save?
I love when it showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's grave

As one rose blooms and another will die
It's always been that way
I remember the showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's grave

And if we are to die tonight
Is there a moonlight up ahead?
I remember the showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's grave
