lyrics

My heart was like a wasteland, where nothing grew no more.
My withered soul was as dry as the sand that blew outside my door.
I put love’s tools away and locked them tightly in.
They’re old and they’re no damn good, won’t ever need them again!
Never need them again.
Never need them again.
Never need them again

Chorus:
Cut flowers there on the table, there in the hall,
Fragile and perfect, then they wither and fall.

She came on to me like a mist on the plain,
Her smile warmed my heart those withered, they roots grew again.
We played in the sunshine, sang into the wind
Had our own private Eden, without any sin.
I believed again
I believed again
I was believin’ again

Cut flowers there on the table, there in the hall,
Fragile and perfect, then they wither and fall.
Cut flowers there on the table, perfect and new.
Here for a moment, gone too soon.

(spoken: God you were lovely) Her: Aahhhh (singing)
Him: I still hear your voice in my mind. I remember that time when you were in the garden singing and it started to rain, you were soaked to the bone but you didn’t care. You were laughing and dancing and so God damned beautiful.
What choice did I have? I let you in, I fell in love with you.
I gave you everything!

They say good things must end, and I guess that’s probably so,
Like that cold September morning when I sat and watched her go.
I went into our garden with tears in my eyes.
Cut everything down to the ground – a tribute to her lies.
Threw those tools away
On the ground in the rain
Never gonna need them again.

Cut flowers there on the table, there in the hall,
Fragile and perfect, then they wither and fall.
Dead flowers there on the table, they remind me of you.
I keep them there to remember all you put me through

Never again (spoken x 4)
Never again x 4
