Sellers of Flowers - Regina Spektor[00:00:00]
Written by:Regina Spektor[00:00:00]
The sellers of flowers buy up old roses[00:00:00]
They pull off dead petals like old heads of lettuce[00:00:04]
And sell 'em as new ones for cheaper and fairer[00:00:08]
But they die by the morning so who is the winner[00:00:12]
Not the roses not the buyers not the sellers maybe winter[00:00:18]
'Cause winters coming soon after summer[00:00:25]
It runs faster faster chasing off autumn[00:00:28]
We go from a warm sun to only a white sun[00:00:31]
We go from a large sun to only a small one[00:00:34]
When I was a small girl I walked through the market[00:00:38]
Holding my dad's hand mitten gloved hand[00:00:40]
That night there were roses lit up in glass boxes[00:00:43]
The heat lamps would keep them from freezing in winter[00:00:46]
We never bought them but somebody must have[00:00:50]
Maybe they made it or maybe they froze up[00:00:53]
Before any person had put them in water[00:00:56]
And hoped that they'd still be alive by the morning[00:00:58]
Who's the winner[00:01:03]
Not the roses not the buyers not the sellers[00:01:04]
Not the tellers of the stories[00:01:09]
Not the fathers not their children[00:01:12]
Not those walking on a dark night[00:01:14]
Through a memory they're forgetting[00:01:17]
Who's the winner who's the winner[00:01:20]
Maybe winter maybe winter[00:01:23]
Somebody steps on a light through a tunnel[00:01:27]
They're holding a piece of their mind in the rubble[00:01:33]
Hold on I won't let go I want to know[00:01:37]
But no one lives long enough to see the outcome[00:02:17]
To know any answers to know what the point is[00:02:21]
To know if the winter ever came closer[00:02:25]
Than on that night when I walked with my father[00:02:30]
A small piece of ice lodged in my mind[00:02:36]
Lodged in my thoughts lodged in my eyes[00:02:40]
Cold all around cold all around[00:02:43]
Warm from inside warm from inside[00:02:46]
Who's the winner[00:02:50]
Not the roses not the buyers not the sellers[00:02:52]
Not the tellers of the stories[00:02:56]
Not the fathers not their children[00:02:59]
Who's the winner[00:03:02]
Not the roses not the buyers not the sellers[00:03:03]
Not the tellers of the stories[00:03:07]
Not the fathers not their children[00:03:10]
Not those walking on a dark night[00:03:13]
Through a memory they're forgetting[00:03:16]
Who's the winner who's the winner[00:03:19]
Maybe winter maybe winter[00:03:22]
Who's the winner who's the winner[00:03:24]
Maybe winter maybe winter[00:03:28]
Who's the winner who's the winner[00:03:31]
