Forgotten Flowers lyrics

I’ve got diamonds in my backyard They grow just like weeds You’ll come and gather them in bundles Take all that you need But save the flowers there for me, dear Take the diamonds for your greed ‘Cause the flowers don’t grow like weeds Glory glory, hallelujah I’m lost and she’s found Another lover to give her shelter When the fields have turned brown Another kind man to warm her When the snow finds the ground The only girl that made the world go round There are some things worth remembering And others left for time To come and weather and to change In the winds of your mind But don’t forget me while you’re leaving Just remember my rhyme It’s all that I’ve borrowed from time Now its Sunday, early evening I rise for the day Brush a long hair from the pillow On my bed where she would lay And in the backyard forgotten flowers Are all fading away To bloom in other lovers’ backyards someday
