[Verse 1: Jim & Jean Glover]
Millionaires and paupers walk the hungry streets
Rich and poor companions of the restless beat
Strangers in a foreign land
Strike a match with a trembling hand
Learn too much to ever understand
[Refrain: Jim & Jean Glover]
But nobody's buying flowers from the flower lady
[Verse 2: Jim & Jean Glover]
Lovers quarrel, snarl away their happiness
Kisses crumble in a web of loneliness
It's written by the poison pen
Voices break before they bend
The door is slammed, it's over once again
[Refrain: Jim & Jean Glover]
But nobody's buying flowers from the flowеr lady
[Verse 3: Jim & Jean Glover]
Poets agonize, they cannot find thе words
The stone stares at the sculptor, asks "Are you absurd?"
Painter paints his brushes black
Through the canvas runs a crack
Portrait of the pain never answers back
