(The marigolds, the buttercups, the roses, and the other ones)
Remember the flowers
Remember what you had lost
Remember the flowers
The TV screen's turning off
Remember the flowers
Something in the marigolds
Why has it gotten so cold?
Suppose that we'll never know
My friends and foes
Their heads to their toes
A blank static screen
Are you listening?
These were the flowers that you used to smell
Please, we don't wanna see you go to hell
These were the flowers that you used to smell
Please, you were always there when hands were held
You never see it on their face
(So long, so long)
You never see it till it's gone
(It's gone, it's gone)
You never see it when you're young
(You're young, you're young)
You never see it till it's gone
(It's gone, it's gone)
Remember the flowers
Remember what you had lost
Remember the flowers
The TV screen's turning off
Remember the flowers
Something in the marigolds
Why has it gotten so cold?
Suppose that we'll never know
(The marigolds, the buttercups, the roses, and the other ones)
(The other stuff from the garden)
(But you forgot the buttercups)
These were the flowers that you used to smell
Please, we don't wanna see you go to hell
These were the flowers that you used to smell
Please, you were always there when hands were held
(So long, so long)
(It's gone, it's gone)
