Flowers For Emily (Song Lyrics) Poem by Thomas Bates

Flowers for Emily
She flashes her sad smile
Welcome to the family
We've been here all the while
And if you feel
That you don't belong
She'll take your hand
And tell you you are wrong

(It seems my dreams
Are far away.
I hope my dreams
Come back to me, someday...)

Just one touch
Of affection
Just one show
Of compassion
Just a little moisture
In somebody's eyes
On any other day
Would come as a surprise

(It seems my dreams
Are far away.
I hope my dreams
Come back to me, someday...)
