Send Flowers versuri

Send Flowers lyrics by Sarah Rose Project

Mary Ellen Thomas died in 1945
Waiting for her lover
Prayed he’d make it home alive
But a letter that September brought the tears straight to her eyes
Instead of taking his last name
She would be taking her own life

Everyone’s just waiting for that day
To be shoved inside a pretty box and then be hit away
Will they laugh?
Will they cry?
Tell me, what will they say?
When you dance your brittle bones into the grave

(Ha ha ha, one more time with feeling!)

Little Eric Edwards thought he’d live forevermore
Used to love losing his temper
Thought he’d keep settling scores
But his beauty and his charm and his luck all wore too thin
He let his mouth run to a bet he couldn’t win

(Oh, I’m trying to tell you people!)

Everyone’s just waiting for that day
To be shoved inside a pretty box and then be hit away
Will they laugh?
Will they cry?
Tell me, what will they say?
When you dance your brittle bones into the grave

Some say it’s just like sleeping
Some say you’re born again
Some say you meet that man in red and answer for your sins
Well I’m so sick of dreaming
I don’t want to play pretend
Every end has a beginning
Every beginning has an end

Everyone’s just waiting for that day
To be shoved inside a pretty box and then be hit away
Will they laugh?
Will they cry?
Tell me, what will they say?
When you dance your brittle bones into the grave
