the man with flowers

song story of a boy who notices a man holding flowers at his place of work then finally speaks to him. the man only asks one qusetion then leave but that little question ends up making the boy realize he's in the same situation that he can't resolve

there's an old man just holding flowers, he's been standing here for hours and now i wonder.

finally found the words to say, i just ask if he's ok then he made me ponder.

he ask a question short and sweet, if there's a girl that's haunting me and then i cowered.

he grabed my hand and said listen son, "when is it ok to run?" and i said never.

he just turned and walked away, and it still bugs me to this day cause i can't gather.

what was he still running from? and why did he insist to come back here?

sweeping after work that day, i found a card and it just said to sarah.

i think that it's all making sence, he had mend left in a fence that he left broken.

i hope that he will find a way, to conjour up the words to say how much he loved her.

then that night when i got home, his words finally hit me close and thats when i realized;

i fences left still broken, curse these choices i have chosen what is worng with me?

she haunts me cause the s**t i did, how do i get her back again? i think i'll never.

cause there's a man no longer holding flowers, but he's been standing here for hours and he's with her.

Author's Note

written more lyrically. i have a tendency to start a good idea then run out of gas with an unresolved issue or point in a jorney... any soluiton to that? i would just leaev it when inothing else jsut flows right out but it doesnt feel right sometimes.
