Vase Full of Flowers-
There's a vase full of flowers
By the window
There's a bowl full of golden fish
On the table
~
Oh and my man has left me
My man left me goodbye
oh I wish that I was a baby
So that I would cry
~
There is love across the corner
And around the street
That is where he went, my man went over
To the house where he did seek
A lovely Maiden a beautiful woman my my my
He lifted up with praises toward the skies
~
There's a vase full of flowers
By the window
There's a bowl full of golden fish
On the table
~
And in the morning this young girl cries
Cuz her man has left her here to die
Brokenhearted he has forsaken her this love less woman left her why why why
~
Each day one of the flowers in the vase just wilts away
Each moment leaving me with nothing but ashes
And tomorrow I know there's going to be a better day
Cuz the golden fish in my fish bowl on the table begins to sway
Tears in the water for my gold fish cry
Fairs in my heart and stomach my breathing's nigh
~
There's a vase full of flowers
By the window sill
There's a bowl full of dead golden fish still
My tears are in the water
My breath has left the flowers
He told me he was leaving
And that he would not come back
I found myself grieving
He broke my heart now I don't want him back
(a womans brokenhearted verse, love loss sigh)
