Flower Two Summertime
You remember when you were maybe five years old and you went out in the morning and you looked at the day - and it was a very, very beautiful day. you looked at flowers and they were very beautiful flowers. twenty-five years later, you get up in the morning, you take a look at the flowers - they are wilted. the day isn't a happy day. well, what's changed? you know they are the same flowers, it's the same world. something must have changed. well, probably it was you.
