Plastic Flowers Orchestral by Neil Young Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the summertime we met to see a threat
That came to harm something we both loved
And as the hours passed
We talked until at last it came a time to part

[Chorus]
I was doin' well and I thought she liked my style
I had no business feeling like that but it lasted quite a while
I got my promises made but before the timeless father
I showed plastic flowers to mother nature's daughter

[Post Chorus]
She held the vase, her misty gaze brought them to life
I was amazed, she looked at me with a tear in her eye

[Verse 2]
We went to give our thanks along the riverbanks
And watched the water flow as it rolled along
She scooped some river sand and held it in her hand
And sang a little song
We saw the water lines left there from ancient times
I watched the sand falling through her fingers
On the shore, so dry
[Chorus]
I was doin' well, I thought she liked my style
I had no business feeling like that but it lasted quite a while
I got my promises made but before the timeless father
I showed plastic flowers to mother nature's daughter
