Where have all the flowers gone
They stopped growing when you walked
All over me and history will prove me
Right or wrong
So here lies the body of a free soul
Another life left down doing time a hole
He looked into the bottom of a wishing well
And he wished it well but all he got was hell
Cause the good fight
Was something in the past tense
He never made much ado about common sense
It was all dark skies a curse upon his house
Just a cast away in a sea of doubt
Case closed just an old soul and so it goes
Where have all the flowers gone
They stopped growing when you walked
All over me and history will prove me
Right or wrong
Maybe in another life
They'll be gardens growing wild
Back here in the parking lot
Concrete hope is all we've got
So let's bury his body in a place they can't find
Leave a map to the grave in a Young girl's mind
They haven't looked there
Since they threw peace signs
Even if they could they wouldn't have the time
But they say years from now in a rain storm
He'll come back from the black as a new born
Revenge and hope will bring him life someday
In the streets at the night all the children say
Case closed just an old soul and so it goes
Where have all the flowers gone
They stopped growing when you walked
All over me and history will prove me
Right or wrong
Maybe in another life
They'll be gardens growing wild
Back here in the parking lot
Concrete hope is all we've got
Even down to one second of a minute
Nobody in their right mind win it
No matter how the Matterhorn spin it
Read between the lines we just missed the sign
Four score never mind you can blame it
Dress it up pass it off and rename it
At the bottom of a mountain waiting for a drop
Betrayed by a fountain that refuses stop
All this own worst enemy business
Forced again by forever to relive this
Precious and few are the moments that you
Get to look into the mirror and see right through
I know that you come from a bitter place
Weary from the world
But somewhere out there is a better place
That we all deserve
Case closed just an old soul and so it goes
Where have all the flowers gone
They stopped growing when you walked
All over me and history will prove me
Right or wrong
Maybe in another life
They'll be gardens growing wild
Back here in the parking lot
Concrete hope is all we've got
