Flowers died a long Time ago my friend And they're hanging on the wall With wax and thread When you were young Did you think it would ever end? When you were young Did you think it would ever end? Sylvia was a girl That I knew best And she wore the finest Eyelid dress And she sits in her room Painting golden moons And she sits in her room Painting golden runes Oh, what am I to do Without a man to see me through? Oh, what am I to do
Without a man to see me through?

Oh, what am I to do Without a man to see me through? I'm more than blue I'm violet Sylvia was a girl that I knew best
