Flower Girl
My dear flower girl
You’ve lost your touch,
Your petals are greyed
Your smile is stitched
My dear flower girl
A painted rose of mine
Though the bells may ring
Pray, sing not
Along with the broken chime
My dear flower girl
Might I lull you to slumber
As your hands untie
As you forget about your encumber
How can a heart still beat
A hand still touch
A girl still dream
Once she is torn to shreds
And bound about her broken bed
How can a smile still stay
When nothing then is here today
My child, my dear, my flower girl
Mine heart is torn for you
My pearl
