Revenge of the flowers

by Françoise Hardy

Album: Paris

Le parfum sucré de vos roses s'évapore
Et moi je compose
Vous ne m'aurez jamais donné
Que le baiser du condamné

These flowers in your sweet hand is
Just how I would feel to you
If you could only touch me now

Just a ghostly paper sigh
Till you kiss me back to life
I'm soon to breathe the roses bloom

{Refrain, x2}
A thousand kisses say goodbye
And then they say you'll never die
A lonely fanfare blew
And then they sing to you

All your flowers fill my room
And sing to me their happy tune
Like nature's flowers destined to die

A thousand hungry flowers
Loving you for hours and hours
Soon smothers me so tenderly

{au Refrain}

My lips are open wide
Stretched so far apart
Searching for that last kiss
With my hands pressed tight to my heart

A thousand hungry flowers
Loving you for hours and hours
Soon smothers me so tenderly

{au Refrain}
