Flowers Grave Lyrics by Tom Waits

(from the album Alice (The Original Demos))

Flowers Grave Lyrics

Someday the silver moon and I
And wake up there in Dreamland
Will go to Dreamland
I will close my eyes
But tell me who will put flowers
On a flower's grave
Who will say a prayer
Will I meet a China rose there in Dreamland

Are these days gone forever and always
Or does love lie bleeding in Dreamland
If we are to die tonight

Is there moonlight up ahead
And if we are to die tonight
Another rose will bloom
Will I be the one that you save
For a faded rose
But no one puts flowers
I love it when it showers
On a flower's grave

It's always been that way
As one rose blooms another will die
I remember the showers
But no one puts flowers

Is there moonlight up ahead
On a flower's grave
I remember the showers
If we are to die tonight
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's grave
