New Flowers

And so I find myself in the ancient grove

Tall tree, withered branches, so many seasons flown

See the bitter winter shiver, for a warmer world

But the summer sun, ain't worth its weight in gold

I don't need no fast life on the road

I just want to savour my time getting old

If I don't need it, I'll let it go

And I want to admire how the new flowers grow

How the new flowers grow

All life is happenstance, that we jeopardise

To shoot for a chance at some earthly paradise

Years frittered, embittered waiting for a kingdom come

You can waste a life, but it never comes

So I don't need no fast life on the road

I just want to savour my time getting old

If I don't need it, I'll let it go

And I want to admire

So I stop and admire

Lost to the wind are the wasted hours we've known

So carve your name on a rock, etch it deep in the stone

Oh, what on earth you waiting for?

When this moment now is evermore

And I don't need no fast life on the road

I just want to savour my time getting old

If I don't need it, I'll let it go

And I want to admire how the new flowers grow
