lyrics

Daisy, rose, chrysanthemum
Talking to the flowers
For there is no one to listen
Nowhere to spend my hours

Through the brambles dank and dour
Lie the broken reeds
All that remains of happier days
Lost in my memory

Flowers (I try), hours (pass by)

Friends and foes and family
Lived and loved and died
This is the forfeit of longevity
When you're all that is left behind

Winter's woes are wearing thin
Spring could swing both ways
Summer makes for cancerous skin
Autumn shall bring decay

Flowers (I try), hours (pass by)

Jack Frost is looming
To halt Summer's blooming
Perpetually pruning
The leaves taking their leave
Now that I'm aged and haggard
I stumble I stagger
I'm bent over backwards
The trees tremble and freeze
Saying to me
This is the Winter of our discontent

Daisy, rose, chrysanthemum
Talking to the flowers
For there is nobody to bury me
Until the April showers
