The lady gave me flowers and I refused them
    C       G/B      Am    C        D
For flowers will not grow among the weeds
        G      G/F     Em       C  G
And the kindnesses she offered, I abused them
   C          G/B    Am      C       D
My wants were always greater than my needs

        Bm           C     Em     G      Bm     Em
And she tried so very hard, but I didn't hear a word
          F            Am                D
For I was far away and couldn't hear her cry

   G    G/F      Em       C     G
My lady took her troubles and deserted
   C      G/B        Am     C        D
To take a stranger's arm to lean and cry
    G     G/F   Em     C      G
And suddenly my senses were reverted
    C      G/B     Am       C         D
But slowly all her feelings passed me by

        Bm           C    Em  G        Bm       Em
And she tried so very hard to choose a friendly word
          F              Am            D
But I was closer now and tried to hear her cry

             G        G/F   Em        C        G
And when she comes to me in dreams, I find I'm turning
   C         G/B    Am     C       D
To face her, when before I turned away
     G        G/F      Em      C       G
When before I wouldn't listen, now I'm learning
   C        G/B    Am        C      D
To hear the gentle words she had to say

          Bm          C   Em  G    Bm        Em
And now I try so very hard to hear her every word
    F              Am               D
But all the time I seem to hear her cry
