For a long while she stood in the flower shop window
Am F C G
The daffodils dearest at this time of year
C F C G
Inside she emptied her purse on the counter
Am F G C
I want to buy all of the daffodils here
G F C
By her eyes it was plain to see she'd been crying
F ` C D7 G
As she tucked back a loose strand of hair from her face
C F C G
I want to spend all of my money on flowers
Am F G C
And I need every daffodil here in this place
C F C G
Clutching her harvest, a cornsheaf of flowers
Am F C G
She clambered aboard the late rush hour tram
C F C G
And by Schweigaadsgate, a small pool of water
Am F G C
Had formed on the floor as if wrung from her hands
G F C
It all seemed to add to the lost look about her
F ` C D7 G
As the grey rattling city went rumbling past
C F C G
She sat like a small child testing for butter
Am F G C
Her face lit in yellow from the flowers tightly clasped
C F C G
Once in her apartment, she lay down the blooms
Am F C G
Divided them up into glasses and jars
C F C G
'Til daffodils filled every space in the room
Am F G C
Then she lit every candle she could find in the house
G F C
She bathed and she dressed and corked open champagne
F ` C D7 G
Which made pigeons fly from her window cill
C F C G
Then closing the curtains on the birds and the rain
Am F G C
She stood among flickering daffodils
C F C G
Surrounded and centred she pondered her feelings
Am F C G
Sofa'd and cushioned on feathers she lay
C F C G
Holding on to the pillows, lest she float to the ceiling
Am F G C
And just like the cigarette smoke drift away
G F C
She wondered just where the wind might deliver
F ` C D7 G
An unwritten letter in a torn envelope
C F C G
Though candlelight warmed, she suddenly shivered
Am F G C
And the yellow flowers shimmered with brightness and hope.
