lyrics

flowers were made to explode
stars in the garden were exposed
and you can make a bleeding rose
and the accordion plays to slow

A castaway came into my mind
gave me another name, made me cry
and you can see him anytime
and the accordion man is blind

all water falls to fast
chases the gull and brings him back
marries the child and loves the land
and gives it to the accordion man

All of the songs they made I could sing
and at the garden gates I could swing
but when the train came i could see
what the accordion played for me

(and thats) all water falls to fast
chases the gull and brings him back
marries the child and loves the land
and gives it to the accordion man
