lyrics

The ground is all broken and dry / the things that we planted are waiting to die / And the birds they just sing out of tune / the flowers won't bloom here in June / the flowers won't bloom here in June // We're trying to reap what we sow / but the world plays for keeps and it never lets go / Until all that is left is perfume / the flowers won't bloom here in June // But who built the fires and who lit the flame / who empties the ashes again and again / The words that you wrote up in smoke in the sky / say baby I love you baby goodbye // You said you'd come back for a while / I may make you angry I may make you smile / Though the sun shines a ray through the gloom / the flowers won't bloom here in June / the flowers won't bloom here in June // But who cut the wires and who stopped the rain / who's going under and taking the blame / The rooms are still empty and echo the years / it's too late for laughter it's too late for tears // We're searching for truth all our lives / but the truth never leaves and so never arrives / 'til we realise too late our undoing / the flowers won't bloom here in June / The flowers won't bloom here in June.
