A new experimental song, based on an old concept I resurrected. Along with The Lost People, this track is a taster of what my new album will be like.

Guitar- and harmonica-playing busker from Bideford, Devon.
Patrick Beverley is a guitar-wielding busker, usually to be seen strumming away on the corner of some street in Bideford, UK. He plays folksy, rocky, bluesy songs, and sometimes, when in an adventurous mood, has been known to produce a harmonica and play said instrument.

Story behind the song
Note the contradiction between the first and last verses. In the first, the singer asserts that 'the flowers remain the same but you change', but by the last, he has changed his mind on what is and isn't permanent: 'the flowers could never last but you did'. This will be included on the new album I'm working on. Working titles I've used so far have included "Don't Be Lonely", "Songs About Other People" and "I Am Scared", but the final name is most likely to be "The Vaulted Sky", taken from the last line of a John Clare poem.
Lyrics
Those Georgian Flowers Watching you as you watch them The flowers remain the same But you change Those Georgian Flowers Bloom for you when winter ends Apart from all your friends You're so strange Those Georgian Flowers Away beneath the trees Nothing but the breeze Keeps you hid Those Georgian Flowers Within the secrets of the past The flowers could never last But you did
