Someday the silver moon and I will go to dreamland
I will close my eyes and wake up there in dreamland
And Tell me who will put flowers on a flower's grave?
Who will say a prayer?Will I meet a China rose there in dreamland?
Or does love lie bleeding in dreamland?
Are these days forever and always?And if we are to die tonight
Is there a moonlight up ahead?
And if we are to die tonight
Another rose will bloomFor a faded rose
Will I be the one that you save?
I love when it showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's graveAs one rose blooms and another will die
It's always been that way
I remember the showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's graveAnd if we are to die tonight
Is there a moonlight up ahead?
I remember the showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's grave
