Nine Black PoppiesWhen I got home I meant to give you some sweet chrysanthemumThe wind chimes were ringing all wrong and you were standing In the doorway singing along And I tried to remember how nice it had been A long long time ago But I couldn't remember. I honestly could not remember And a package came for you today, from the hunan province The postmark burning jet black in the summer sun Someone was changing. someone was changing from the inside out And I turned around to face you. Sweet peas in the garden, all in full bloom And I thought I heard the traces of an old song murmuring in the room Like a half-remembered conversation, I let it slip away And then I could not remember I honestly could not remember And a package came for you today, from the hunan province The postmark burning jet black in the summer sun Someone was changing. someone was changing from the inside out And I turned around to face you |
