The Flowers Died

Story Behind The Song

This song is about a lady named Mary, that I lived beside in a run down trailer park in Conway, South Carolina. She did not have any family that talked to or visited her. She just had some cats and a very beautiful garden. I wrote this song about what I thought might happen if her flowers died

Lyrics

Last night Mary called me
from her home on 33rd
said I got to tell you something
and that somethings no good
said last night my children left me
they are gone without a trace
well you should have heard me listen
all the tears fell down my face
when she said
-Chorus_
Friday the flowers died
I think so deeply, but I don't know why
I don't know what they had in mind
but friday the flowes died
the flowers died

Well I wonder what happened to Mary
ain't seen her for days
have they taken her
put her in a home for the insane
but her words still ring clear in my head
I remember everythind she said
I remember every word
especially when she said
