Paper Flowers

Did he make you smile
Did you hear her laugh
Funny how it becomes
Pretty as a picture torn in half

The man is dressed in black
Fade from happy into sad

All they ever wanted was a simple thing
That simply didn't come
It always seems so very obvious
Still it always feels undone
A little time and everything gets old
Paper flowers they too will fold

The quiet only marks the time
All is understood
The place where they divide
The only way they could

The woman lay in white
Another day into night

All they ever wanted was a simple thing
That simply didn't come
It always seems so very obvious
Still it always feels undone
A little time and everything gets old
Paper flowers they too will fade
