Tom Chaplin - New Flowers lyrics
[Tom Chaplin - New Flowers lyrics]
Tall tree withered branches
So many seasons flown
See the bitter winter shiver
For a warmer world
But the summer sun ain't worth
It's weight in gold
I don't need no fast life on the road
I just want to savour my time getting old
If I don't need it, I'll let it go
And I want to admire
How the new flowers grow
How the new flowers grow
All life is happenstance that we jeopardise
To shoot for a chance
At some earthly paradise
Years frittered embittered waiting for
A kingdom come
You can waste a life, but it never comes
So I don't need no fast life on the road
I just want to savour my time getting old
If I don't need it, I'll let it go
And I want to admire
So I stop and admire
Lost to the wind are the
Wasted hours we've known
So carve your name on a rock
Etch it deep in the stone
Oh, what on earth you waiting for?
When this moment now is evermore
I don't need no fast life on the road
I just want to savour my time getting old
If I don't need it, I'll let it go
And I want to admire
How the new flowers grow
