Sad flower Songtext

von Terry Lee Hale

Sitting here just wondering
Why the thing refuses to grow
I have shit on it enough
To fertilize a whole damn row
With salty tears I've faithfully watered
Covered with a lid at night
Even talked with the boys down at the corner
Sad flower, don't seem right

Wonder why it took so long
To only get this high
I have bought and read all the books
Never seem to get it right

I've tried hard to be patient
Talked to it at least once a night
Even moved it out here from the back room
Sad flower don't seem right

Wish I knew just how to make
One pretty flower grow
You would think I'd know just what to do
I'm thirty-eight years old
Can't see what's the problem
Nobody wants it more than me
But the flowers never seem to want to grow here
Do you know what's wrong?
Do you think it's me?
