The Blue Flower

© 2009 Mark Cote

1. Sitting there
    growing skyward in between the lanes
    a smil..ing blue flower
    no one ever sees

2. each new day
    he starts it off in the same old way
    smiling as they go by
    and crying dewy tears

    bright and blue
    he shows his colors in the brightest hue
    hoping one day you'll see him too
    as it starts to rain..

    on sunny nights and darkened days
    it is all the same

(chorus) and as they drive... by
                no one sees him
                and as they drive by
                only cold quick stares...
                oh, and he keeps crying
                Don't you love me?
                or don't you even care?

3. he shared the sun
    with friends around he thought who cared
    intertwined roots of trust
    but they just were weeds

    alone and cold
    now weakened by years of trust
    the weeds are gone by the pain remains
    for all the world to see..

    it's scary how all he knew
    all he knew is gone...
(chorus)
