The Flowers Lyrics - Soviet Kitsch - Regina Spektor

The flowers you gave me are rotting 

And still I refuse to throw them away 

Some of the bulbs never opened quite fully 

They might, so I'm waiting and staying awake 

Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep 

I'll never know if I go to sleep 

Eaaa, ahh 

A-da-dum, a-da-dum 

Bum, ba-da-dum 

Waau, ba-daam

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The papers around me are piling and twisting 

Regina the paperback mummy, what then 

I'm taking the knife to the books that I own 

And I'm chopping and chopping and boiling soup from stone 

Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep 

I'll never know if I go to sleep 

Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep 

I'll never know if I go to sleep
