Kathleen Edwards - Asking for Flowers lyrics
[Kathleen Edwards - Asking for Flowers lyrics]
A walking declaration of everything
I couldn't get right time is just an anchor
But seven years I think I'm right
And now you've changed your number
It's like a noose around my life
Every pill I took in vain
Every meal for you I made
Every penny I put away
Asking for flowers is like asking
You to be nice
Don't tell me you're too tired
Ten years I've been working nights
My life is like a picture left
Out too long in the sun
Now I'm trying to remember all the
Faces of the names I've loved
And all that's left of me now
Is a cigarette burning bright
And a fading memory of all the
Things I tried to get right
Every pill I took in vain
Every meal for you I made
Every plan I tried to make
Asking for flowers is like asking
You to be nice
Don't tell me you're too tired
Ten years I've been working nights
Every pill I took in vain
Every meal for you I made
Every bill I went and paid
Every card I signed my name
Every time I poured my heart out
Every threat you made to move out
Every cruel word you let just slip out
Every cruel word you let just slip out
Asking for flowers is like asking
You to be nice
Don't tell me you're too tired
Ten years I've been working nights
Don't tell me you're too tired
Ten years I've been working nights
