He's walking away
Blood in her pretty hair
She just lies there
Eyes closed
After he goes
Later in the bathroom
She washes her face
"It must have been my fault
He's just tryin' to put me in my place"
Down to the kitchen for a glass of wine
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

She's driftin' away
And no one knows why
In the blue sky
So high
Waiting to die
Out in the garden
A new flower grows
Delicate and lovely
A pale yellow rose
There in the sunshine
He opens the gate
He's come to say he's sorry
He's too late
He's sayin' he's sorry
Too late
