letra de flower lady - martyn joseph

[verse 1]
millionaires and paupers walk the hungry streets
rich and poor companions of the restless beat
strangers in a foreign land
strike a match with trembling hand
learn too much to ever understand
but n0body’s buyin’ flowers from the flower lady

[verse 2]
lovers quarrel and snarl away their happiness
kisses crumble in a web of loneliness
it’s written by the poison pen
voices break before they bend
the door is slammed, it’s over once again
but n0body’s buyin’ flowers from the flower lady

[verse 3]
poets agonize, they cannot find the words
and the stone stares at the sculptor and asks, “are you absurd?”
the painter paints his brushes black
and through the canvas runs a crack
portrait of the pain never answers back
but n0body’s buyin’ flowers from the flower lady

[verse 4]
soldiers disillusioned come home from the war
sarcastic students tell them not to fight no more
and they argue through the night
and black is black and white is white
and walk away both knowin’ that they’re right
still n0body’s buyin’ flowers from the flower lady
[verse 5]
smoke dreams of escaping souls are driftin’ by
dull the pain of livin’ as they slowly die
smiles change into a sneer
washed away by whiskey tears
in the quicksand of their mind they disappear
still n0body’s buyin’ flowers from the flower lady

[verse 6]
feeble aged people almost to their knees
complain about the present usin’ memories
they never found their pot of gold
wrinkled hands pound weary holes
each line screams out, “you’re old, you’re old, you’re old”
but n0body’s buyin’ flowers from the flower lady

[verse 7]
the flower lady hobbles home without a sale
tattered shreds of petals leave a fadin’ trail
not a pause to hold a rose
and even she no longer knows
the lamp goes out, the evenin’ now is closed
and n0body’s buyin’ flowers from the flower lady
and n0body’s buyin’ flowers from the flower lady
