"The Flower" lyrics

There's a flower in the garden
You once told me its name
To little ears of just ten years
They all sound the same

Now the birds land on their table
Waiting to be fed
Like all the I love you's
I wish that I had said

Your coat is on the back door
That's where it will stay
The radio is set on the show
You listen to each day

And your favorite family photo
On the table in the hall
Is beneath the holy waterfalls
There hanging on the wall

I can almost hear a whisper
When I'm sitting in your chair
The fire flames, they don't burn the same
Now that you're no longer there

And time will pass all slowly
'Til winter turns to spring
And sun shines on your garden and your
Flowers bloom again

And I wish I had told you
I can only hope you knew
There's a flower in the garden
And it's beautiful like you
