To see age in a flower The dawns are speeding up You know, it'll hurt you Feel all of a sudden Tired and teary-eyed You knew, it'd kill you Don't wear a tie that'll choke you to death in the city Take it off and forget Spare the fret that'll make you, miss all of summer Sweat it out and forgive To see loss in a shower The petals turn to mush It still disappoints you Then less of a sudden You wire your weary mind To let it deceive you Don't force a smile that'll make you resent the city Play it soft and forgive Keep the frown that'll make you squint in the summer Play it slow and forget
