These Flowers (feat. Callum Henshaw)

In the summer he went To his garden and spent Many hours in gentle construction, back bent With the nature he loved, fifty years to the day Knowing love that is timeless and won't fade away And into the dirt If you watched you could see Went a delicate touch And a proficiency Though he knew pretty soon No more light they would find A true beauty remained in the mind Though the seasons may pass And the years slip away No these flowers won't wilt No these flowers will stay In neat rows they do sit In their bed he does lay And these flowers will not fade away After years of neglect I returned to the scene Though my touch it was clumsy My hands were too clean And I know pretty soon many blooms here I'd find If I just pull the weeds and I just take my time Though the seasons may pass And the years slip away No these flowers won't wilt No these flowers will stay In his garden you feel Like the old man's around Sowing all of that love in the ground
