lyrics

ONE FLOWER DOWN
(Ian M. Bruce/Charlie Milne)

Up in the sky, is that where you are?
Soakin in sunshine, swingin on stars?
Mmmm! Is that where you are?
If that's where you are, are you glad to be there?
In the breath of the seasons, in the freshest of air?
Mmmm! Are you glad to be there?

CHORUS
But you always loved spring
It came round 2003 - one flower down.
But you always loved spring
It came round 2003 - one flower down.

And what of winter, are you above all that now?
No longer the dark nights so weary and dow.
Mmmmh! Are you above all that now?
The season of sleeping, did you find it cold?
Are your tunes all cheery; are you no longer old?
Mmmmh! Did you find it cold?

CHORUS
But you always loved spring
It came round 2003 - one flower down.
But you always loved spring
It came round 2003 - one flower down.

Well your last summer evenings,
Were they lonely and long?
Has all that changed now that you're gone.
Mmmm! Were they lonely and long?
The conflict of autumn, you never could choose
Twixt the richest golden and the deepest of blues.
Mmmmh! You never could choose.

CHORUS

Aye by me
Lichtin my shadow.
Dancin bricht steps tae oor weel kent tune.
Aye by me
Watchin by starlicht.
Singin oor ain sangs keeps me safe.

CHORUS
But you always loved spring
It came round 2003 - one flower down.
But you always loved spring
It came round 2003 - one flower down.
