Last spring they called you the hyacinth girl
We laughed and had no regrets
The seasons have blown out all yesterday's curls
And now it's time to forget
The green days have blown away
Flown away, blown away
We mustn't forget those three months hiding
December's girl stares alone at the world
Her face pressed against the panes
She's watching the children play out in the snow
Her eyes can see only flames
Oh please don't turn away
Burn away, turn away
You'd have us forget those three months crying
Comb out your long blonde hair
We'll ride the waves till someone wakes us
They called you the hyacinth girl
White flower alone in the woods
They called you the hyacinth girl
They're talking and laughing, yeah which one were you
When they lined up at my gates
They're falling like daisies, just tell them we're through
The girl at the window still waits
She doesn't turn away
Burn away, turn away
She'll never forget those three months dying
Comb out your long blonde hair
We'll ride the wind till someone wakes us
They called you the hyacinth girl
White flower alone in the woods
They called you the hyacinth girl
White flower alone in the woods
They called you the hyacinth girl
