Flowers died a long time ago my friend
            Bm             A         G
And they’re hanging on the wall with wax and thread
              Bm            A              G
When you were young did you think it would ever end?
              Bm            A              G
When you were young did you think it would ever end?

Silvia was a girl that I knew best
        Bm       A      G
And she wore the finest eyelet dress
        Bm      A                 G
And she sits in her room painting golden runes
        Bm      A                 G
And she sits in her room painting golden runes

Layla met a man that she loved best
       Bm        A     G
And he died in a fiery crash
        Bm                 A                  G
And the whole is wide, the whole is wide, the whole is wide
       Bm                 A                  G
Oh the whole is wide, the whole is wide, the whole is wide
