"Gladiola" lyrics

Everybody's leaving town
They're packin' their grip, they're gettin' around
They're going to only, God knows where
Now you, Gladiola, now you, Gladiola

Hear me, Gladiola, I can read what's on your mind
It looks as though you've been crying such a long time
Now you and me together, we're like apples and a pear (Gladiola)
We're much too close to tear ourselves apart
So, honey, won't you kiss me from your heart?
It's time to say goodbye

And it's a great big world
And a lot of things can happen to a small tender (like you)
So, if you change your mind
Well, you might just want to find your friend

Hear me, Gladiola, I can read what's on your mind
It looks as though you've been crying such a long time
Now you and me together, we're like apples and a pear
We're much too close to tear ourselves apart
So, honey, won't you kiss me from your heart?
It's time to say goodbye

So, if you change your mind
Well, you might just want to find your friend

Now hear me, gladiola, I can read what's on your mind
It looks as though you've been crying such a long time
Now you and me together, we're like apples and a pear
We're much too close to tear ourselves apart
So, honey, won't you kiss me from your heart?
It's time to say goodbye
