Simon & Garfunkel - Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall

Paul Simon is a genius.



"So I'll continue to continue to pretend

My life will never end

And flowers never bend

With the rainfall"






[Verse 1]

Through the corridors of sleep

Past 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



[Chorus]

So I'll continue to continue to pretend

My life will never end

And flowers never bend

With the rainfall



[Verse 2]

The mirror on my wall

Casts an image dark and small

But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection

I'm 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 3]

No matter if you're 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
