Flower’s Grave Songtext
von Tom Waits

Someday the silver moon and I will go to Dreamland
I will close my eyes and wake up there in Dreamland
But 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 moonlight up ahead?

And if we are to die tonight, another rose will bloom
For a faded rose, will I be the one that you save?


I love it when it showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's grave

Oh, 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 grave

And if we are to die tonight, is there moonlight up ahead?

I remember the showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's grave
