Simone White - Flowers In May

here's what I learned when you went away
the jacaranda tree flowers in may
jasmine blooms after the rain
4am hear the first plane

ride a bike along the beach the end of the day
the sun descends in red and slowly fades
think of all the things I want to say
too late

when will I forget I don't know
I want to keep you here inside me to remind me that everything unfolds
one day we'll see

hang a white dress on a line in the sun
do the laundry and the dishes sweep the kitchen
save the bees and baby birds that fall from the trees
look there's one

all night in spring the mockingbird sings
stay up till dawn and sleep all day long
I can feel you with me every moment
even though you're very gone

when will I forget I don't know
I want to keep you here inside me to remind me that everything unfolds
one day we'll see

hang a white dress on a line in the sun
save the bees and baby birds that fall from the trees
clean the glasses line them up in a row
I won't let you go

here's what I learned when you went away
the jacaranda tree flowers in may
jasmine blooms after the rain
4am hear the first plane
