Lyrics
FLOWERS OF YOUR TEARS
Someone there is knocking
They’re knocking down our front door
Don’t want to see you crying
There’s nothing left to cry for no more
The flowers of your tears
Will blossom in the spring-time
The flowers of your tears
We’ll walk through them come spring-time
When a man stands for something
They’ll pull the rug from under his feet
Take away his freedom
Take his home leave nothing to eat
The flowers of your tears
Will blossom in the spring-time
The flowers of your tears
We’ll walk through them come spring-time
After all of these years
I pray for a little sunshine baby
After all of your tears
The fields are full of flowers
The fields are full of flowers
Been a long cruel winter
Only warmth I get is in your arms
Helpless, lost and bitter
Looking back only brings more harm
The flowers of your tears
Will blossom in the spring-time
The flowers of your tears
We’ll walk through them come spring-time
