Cut Flowers by The Smithereens

Sentimental gestures
Never meant that much to me
But if I had her here today
I'd shed a tear for all the world to see

Cut flowers sent to a girl
With sentimental ways
Cut flowers meant more to her
On ordinary days

Gentle girl who needed
All the love I had to give
But I was blind to her and would not
Give her what she needed most to live

Cut flowers sent to a girl
With sentimental ways
Cut flowers meant more to her
On ordinary days

Cut flowers, flowers, flowers
Cut flowers, flowers, flowers

Cut flowers pressed between
The pages of a book she gave
I go to her and say, "I'm sorry"
Then I put cut flowers on her grave

Cut flowers sent to a girl
With sentimental ways
Cut flowers meant more to her
On ordinary days

Cut flowers, flowers, flowers
Cut flowers, flowers, flowers
