Before the door was closed
Before the mould was old
Taking time seemed so easy
Before she left the room while the flowers bloomed
Making love seemed so easy
But
now the flowers in the room begin to wilt
I want you still
Dear friend, dear friend, love you till you're old
I'm
going back again
I never knew you when
Jumping from trees was a passion
I stole from apple trees
Skimmed stones across the stream
Many tears in the playground
But
now the flowers in the room begin to wilt
I need you still
Dear friend, dear friend leave me till you're old
But
now the air that she used to breathe
Tastes so stale, tastes so stale
Before
the door was closed
Before the mould was old
Taking time seemed so easy
Before she left the room while the flowers bloomed
Making love seemed so easy
But
now the flowers in the room begin to wilt
I want you still
Dear friend, dear friend, love you till you're old

My
girlfriend was listening to Travis a lot at the time of writing this song,
she says the influence is pretty obvious, I'd rather Paul McCartney -
a true genius. A very different version was also released as a limited
edition 7" single.
