Lyrics

DON’T WATER DEAD PLANTS (Mike Borok)

There’s a plant on my windowsill that reminds me of you
It’s not looking so good and there’s nothing I can do
Every day I cry
And I ask myself why
I tell myself, don’t water dead plants
Don’t water dead plants

It was a Garden of Eden with you in my dreams
But sometimes paradise is not all it seems
Now the well has run dry
It’s pointless to cry
I tell myself, don’t water dead plants
No, don’t water dead plants

I know that everything dies someday
Let it go, it’s time to move on, I say
This will be the saddest of years
Seasoned with the flavor of salty tears

In time everything fades away
I know you reap what you sow, they say
This has been the saddest of years
‘Cause nothing slows the flow of these falling tears

You gave me roses on Valentine’s Day
Now those roses are nothing but a dried-out bouquet
And the windowsill plant
Looks like the ghost of romance
So don’t water dead plants
No, don’t water dead plants
I tell myself, don’t water dead plants
Don’t water dead plants
