Flowers in the dawn
One minute here then he was gone
The neighbours rang
They rang
Mother what's the noise
I heard a scream, I heard your voice
Says Mary 'you're tired, so tired’
So tired
And she said
‘Mary, you were too young to notice
Wait by the window for me
Time will make you remember’
And she said
‘Mary, you were too young
Don't let the water round your feet-
Don't let it pull you under’
Flowers in the hall
Hand-painted pictures on the wall
The bed's gone cold
So cold
Mother try to breathe
I saw the blood, I saw him leave
Says Mary, ‘Go hide, go hide’
Go hide
‘So darling close your eyes
And let the rain subside
It takes time
It always takes time
And when the curtain falls
It spins in circles
Don't break down
Don't let it break now’
And she said
‘Mary, you were too young to notice
Wait by the window for me
Time will make you remember’
And she said
‘Mary, you were too young
Don't let the water round your feet-
Don't let it pull you under
