Pretty Flowers Die in a Day

from In This Town by B Pictures

about

{1985 demo recording digitized from cassette, restored, edited, mixed and mastered}

lyrics

Warm summer showers
And a child will laugh
Imagine yourself on a train
Leaving, looking back
As pretty flowers die in a day
As all those blank nights
Now quietly lay
Lay down…

Down at the head of the bed
Pale and dull and lifelessly said good-bye
Said good-bye

Listen to raindrops
Dayton is mine
This forsaken hole
Is 20 years behind
Those pretty flowers die in a day
Betray, betray
Wilt and decay
Away…

Love and luck have all been said
Pale and dull yet handsomely dressed
Prove me wrong
Please prove me wrong

A life full of bad luck is all I've had
And I'll trust in love again and again
But I'll trust in love again
And again...
