Flowers in the dawn
One minute here then he was gone
The neighbours rang, they rang
Mother what's the noise?
I heard her scream, I heard your voice
Says Mary, you're tired, so tired
So tired

And she said
Mary, you were too young to notice
Wait by the window for me
Time will make you remember
And she said
Mary, you were too young
Don't let the water around your feet
Don't pull you under

Flowers in the hall
Hand painted pictures on the wall
The bed's gone cold, so cold
Mother tried to breathe
I saw the blood, I saw him leave
Says Mary, go hide, go hide
Go hide (yeah)

So darling, close your eyes
And let the rain subside
It takes time
It always takes time
And when the curtain falls
It spins in circles
Don't break down
Don't let it break down

And she said
Mary, you were too young to notice
Wait by the window for me
Time will make you remember
And she said
Mary, you were too young
Don't let the water at your feet
don't let it pull you under
