Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel



Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion
I don't know what is real
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion

So, I'll continue to continue
To pretend
That my life will never end
And that flowers never bend with the rainfall

The mirror on my wall casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection
I am blinded by the light
Of God and Truth and Right
And I wander in the night without direction

(refrain)

It's no matter if you're born to play the king or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow
And so my fantasy becomes reality
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow

(refrain)
