A flowered goodbye

Solemn winter morning

Pale sun through the window

Everything, it seems the same

But on only the surface

Deeper conversations

Reassurances and revelations

A moment’s hesitation by the door

So give me a flowered goodbye

You may be dead by morning

‘Cause death can come so silently and without warning

Will you come back one day?

One day with the starlings

One day in the springtime

And one day with the sun

Underneath the starlight

Undernеath the moonlight

We made a solеmn promise

And a contract signed in blood

And I hate you ‘cause I love you

And I hate myself for loving you

The  pain that comes with love

Will be a curse that I must bear

And when the battle’s over

And the smoke is clearing

You’ll lie there in the wasteland

And you’ll dream of warmer days

And as your life is fading

Your thoughts will turn to loved ones

In nothing but the silence

And the sundown’s winter rays

So give me a flowered goodbye

You may be dead by morning

‘Cause death can come so silently and without warning

I’ll take a bullet

So give me a flowered goodbye

You may be dead by morning

‘Cause death can come so silently and without warning

I’ll take a bullet

I’ll take a bullet for you

But only if you ask me

So just ask me
