The 77s - Flowers In The Sand lyrics

You make a lot of money She makes a lot of time Counts it out and hands it over to you Never asking nothing in return 'Cuz she trusts you Believes in you too You go around in circles She goes home alone You could be there with her But she's still on her own She's not looking for miracles She's just looking for love All she wants is you, because that's enough She makes it all so easy You make it all so hard You've give her dirt And tie her to the earth She plants another flower in the sand You got all the best excuses in the world But they're not reasons They don't even rhyme She's a good woman But you treat her like a bad little girl She's a loser In your little game The victim of your big crime She's always trying to work it out You're only trying just to fit her in To your self-serving plans and schemes She thinks you're worth it So she hangs around And hangs another day on shattered hopes And battered little dreams You trample down your dirt And harvest weeds Her love grows And she waters it so carefully You scatter all her seedlings With one wave of your hand And she plants another flower in the sand
