Last spring they called you the hyacinth girl We laughed and had no regrets The seasons have blown out all yesterday's curls And now it's time to forget The green days have blown away Flown away, blown away We mustn't forget those three months hiding December's girl stares alone at the world Her face pressed against the panes She's watching the children play out in the snow Her eyes can see only flames Oh please don't turn away Burn away, turn away You'd have us forget those three months crying Comb out your long blonde hair We'll ride the waves till someone wakes us They called you the hyacinth girl White flower alone in the woods They called you the hyacinth girl They're talking and laughing, yeah which one were you When they lined up at my gates They're falling like daisies, just tell them we're through The girl at the window still waits She doesn't turn away Burn away, turn away She'll never forget those three months dying Comb out your long blonde hair We'll ride the wind till someone wakes us They called you the hyacinth girl White flower alone in the woods They called you the hyacinth girl White flower alone in the woods They called you the hyacinth girl --- .
