Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall

Flowers Never Bend With the Rainfall

Paul Simon

Guitar

Ukulele

Verse

Through the corridors ofsleep

Past the shadows dark and deep

My mind dances and leaps in confusion.

I dont know what is real,

I can’t touch what I feel

And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.

Chorus

So I’ll continue to continue to pretend

My life will never end,

And flowers never bend

With the rainfall.

Verse

The mirror on mywall

Casts an image dark and small

But Im not sure at all its my reflection.

I am blinded by the light

Of God and truth and right

And I wander in the night without direction.

Chorus

So I’ll continue to continue to pretend

My life will never end,

And flowers never bend

With the rainfall.

Verse

Its no matter if youre born

To play the king or pawn

For the line is thinly drawn tween joy and sorrow,

So my fantasy

Becomes reality

And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.

Chorus

So I’ll continue to continue to pretend

My life will never end,

And flowers never bend

With the rainfall.
