Description
This is another immature pop song from my early youth (about the same time as "Taste the Fire"). The Lyrics are cheesy... but I liked the jazzy guitar chords enough to rework the song. It's not really indicative of what I do these days - but I hope you get some enjoyment out of it.

Lyrics
Dyin' like a Flower
Life reduced to memories and memories I crave
When I had a soul to give, to you I gladly gave
And now I’m bleeding tears, my life just drains away
I’d give this one last breath to be with you today
Love, I’m dying like a flower
That once had beauty and power
Just one thing to say – I thought that you needed me more
I’m scraping my heart off the floor
I’m scraping my heart off the floor
Though the knife twists deep inside, I love you just the same
And as I fight the freeze, I need your gentle flame
It seems I’m made for you, I’m breaking with the need
I’ll hold you close as life and on your eyes I’ll feed
All you see I give it freely
Take me in your loving arms
And steal this mind from madness
And heal this broken man
And trade me love for sadness
Kiss my leprous hands
Just one thing to say, I thought that you needed me more
I’m scraping my heart off the floor
I’m scraping my heart off the floor
No-one else can say they tasted life so sweet
Nothing else can be ever such a treat
Love take me blind, I do it all the time
You are my mind, for you I crave
And I can lose the time of day
I can make it all go away
But you are here to stay
Always here to stay
Life’s reduced to you and it’s you I crave
When I had a heart to give, I gave it away
Now I’m bleeding life, life just melts away
I just have one last hope, to win you back today
Just takes water for the flower
To give us beauty and power
Just one thing to say – I know that I need you much more
Won’t you just open the door
Life reduced to memories and memories I crave
When I had a soul to give, to you I gladly gave
And now I’m bleeding tears, my life just drains away
I’d give this one last breath to be with you today
Love, I’m dying like a flower
That once had beauty and power
Just one thing to say – I thought that you needed me more
I’m scraping my heart off the floor
I’m scraping my heart off the floor
Though the knife twists deep inside, I love you just the same
And as I fight the freeze, I need your gentle flame
It seems I’m made for you, I’m breaking with the need
I’ll hold you close as life and on your eyes I’ll feed
All you see I give it freely
Take me in your loving arms
And steal this mind from madness
And heal this broken man
And trade me love for sadness
Kiss my leprous hands
Just one thing to say, I thought that you needed me more
I’m scraping my heart off the floor
I’m scraping my heart off the floor
No-one else can say they tasted life so sweet
Nothing else can be ever such a treat
Love take me blind, I do it all the time
You are my mind, for you I crave
And I can lose the time of day
I can make it all go away
But you are here to stay
Always here to stay
Life’s reduced to you and it’s you I crave
When I had a heart to give, I gave it away
Now I’m bleeding life, life just melts away
I just have one last hope, to win you back today
Just takes water for the flower
To give us beauty and power
Just one thing to say – I know that I need you much more
Won’t you just open the door

great tune
i dig the guitar when the hi hat get going
the over all sound is freekin hip
Bowie meets sting with a touch of luna
great 'thought that u needed me more'
love the whole
