Asking For Flowers It's complicated Technically I'm certified A walking declaration Of verything I couldn't get right Time is just an anchor But 7 years I think I'm right Now you've changed your number It's like a noose around my life Every pill I took in vain Every meal for you I made Every penny I put away Asking for flowers Is like asking you to be nice Don't tell me you're too tired 10 years I've been working nights My life is like a picture left out too long in the sun Now I'm trying to remember all the faces of the names I've loved And all that's left of me now is a cigarette burning bright And a fading memory of all the things I tried to get right Every pill I took in vain Every meal for you I made Every penny I put away Asking for flowers Is like asking you to be nice Don't tell me you're too tired 10 years I've been working nights Every pill I took in vain Every meal for you I made Every bill I went and paid Every card I signed my name Every time I poured my heart out Every threat you made to move out Every cruel word you let just slip out Every cruel word you let just slip out   Don Heffington Drums/percussion Bob Glaub Bass Jim Bryson Electric Guitar Greg Leisz Electric Guitar John Ginty Hammond Jim Bryson Backing vocals				Written by Kathleen Edwards BMI NR - Comment "In my living room we recorded some piano, electric guitar and Jim sang on Asking For Flowers. We had to turn off the furnace in between takes so we wouldn’t hear the rumble of the boiler."
