so you're gone
the stormy seas are calm
you sing your songs
I try to play along
and we don't know
where life is taking you
you let it go
with nothing left to lose

baby it's a shame
it had to end like this now
but the past cannot be changed
I guess we're better off now
still I miss you just the same

maybe you're not
this wild and crazy girl
a laughing smile but
dying in your eyes
a shackled soul
but free to compromise
you let it go
I never wondered why

When you were here with me
I never wanted to let you go
I never wanted to leave
I never thought I'd miss you so
When you weren't here with me

Lying there
Holding a flower
She's dying there
holding a flower
She's smiling there
Holding a flower
A flower, yeah!
