lyrics

Little Pink Pocket Posies, filled up my apron too
I ran to tell you momma of my love for you
You were crying in a dark room, your emotion had been bruised
My pink pocket posies were of little use to you

I put them in a water vase and set them on the mantle
I watched those pretty flowers fade as your heart became dismantled
I cursed my frightening father and his helpless blue tirade
I wished that I had posies for a gentleman his age

I went down deep within myself and brought out loving hearts
All made with painted paper a first grade work of art
I put them in his pocket while he stared at the TV
I breathed the taste of cigarettes and lingered in his strength
Then carried through the years the taste of anger and Pall Mall
The fragrance of a flower,
A never ending well

Thank you for listening. ... more
