《Second Handed Flowers》歌词

[00:00:00] Second Handed Flowers - Tom T. Hall

[00:00:10] I was working in Miami for a day or two

[00:00:17] I decided I'd look up a girl

[00:00:21] That I once knew

[00:00:25] I bought some flowers

[00:00:27] And went to see a girl I used to know

[00:00:32] The lady at her door said

[00:00:35] She had married long ago

[00:00:41] Times will change and towns will

[00:00:44] Change there I was alone

[00:00:48] And suddenly I wondered,

[00:00:50] Would Susie be at home?

[00:00:56] So, with the flowers in my hand,

[00:01:00] I walked toward her gate

[00:01:03] Someone touched me on the arm and said,

[00:01:07] “You'll have to wait”

[00:01:12] Then I noticed there were

[00:01:15] People standing in line

[00:01:19] And some of them were holding pretty flowers,

[00:01:23] Just like mine

[00:01:27] They explained that Susie had been

[00:01:31] In an awful crash

[00:01:34] Doctors said that she had just

[00:01:37] A little while to last

[00:01:51] When I walked into her room,

[00:01:55] I felt a sense of shame

[00:01:58] But I heard Susie whisper,

[00:02:01] "I'm awfully glad you came"

[00:02:05] She had been the girl

[00:02:09] That I had always gone to see

[00:02:13] When someone that I cared

[00:02:16] For had been untrue to me

[00:02:22] I handed her the flowers

[00:02:25] And she gently kissed my hand

[00:02:29] She said, “Don't be embarrassed,

[00:02:32] You know I understand”

[00:02:37] I said, “Goodbye” and as I bent

[00:02:41] To kiss her fevered brow

[00:02:44] I heard her whisper,

[00:02:46] "Thank you for the second handed flowers"
