Broken Window Serenade

A couple of purty flowers

That's what I brought to you

I saw you through a broken window

With a different point of view

You had signs of depression

From a long line of sin

And your face tells a story 'bout the places you have been

I love you so

I thought you should know

And that muddy waters flowin'

And as you take my hand

Past the creek down by the holler

Through your daddy's land

And I could buy you a diamond

But I cannot change the world

'Cause I ain't got no money

You'll never be my girl... no

I thought you should know

And you was gonna be a singer

And a big movie star

But you can't catch no breaks, baby

And Hollywood is hard

Now you work down at the Time Out

Off of 155

And you're dancing for your dollar

Just tryin' to stay alive

It hurts me so

I thought you should know

You feed your addiction

With your crystal meth

And I plea for your life

As it takes you to your death

You make your deal with the devil

As your looks begin to fade

I saw you laughin' through the tears

As you slowly slipped away

I watched you go

I thought you should know

Yeah, I watched you go

I thought you should know

And that cold rain is pourin'

As they lay you in a grave

And I can barely recognize you

In your fragile state

No more signs of depression

From a long time ago

I throw in a purty flower

As they slowly laid you low, it was a rose

I thought you should know

And there it was a rose

I thought you should know

A couple of purty flowers

That's what I brought to you

I saw you through a broken window

With a different point of view...
