FLOWERS NEVER BEND
Paul Simon
Album : Songbook 1965
VERSE 1
Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
I dont know what is real,
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.
CHORUS:
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
VERSE 2
The mirror on my wall
Casts an image dark and small
But Im not sure at all its my reflection.
I am blinded by the light
Of God and truth and right
And I wander in the night without direction.
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
Its no matter if youre born
To play the king or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn tween joy and sorrow,
So my fantasy
Becomes reality
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.
CHORUS
