Have you heard the news Mr. Dandelion?
Your roses and tulips wilt away and fall apart.
As we all drift away, like wilted petals in the stream,
The night does grow dark and yet you do not dream.
Have you heard the news Mr. Dandelion?
Your heart is like the daisies dry and crumble to the wind.
As you begin to isolate yourself,
Your wife, Mrs. Daisy falls ill.
Have you heard the news Mr. Dandelion?
Your flowers wilt, dry, and crumble away.
Have you heard the news, sir? Don't be lying.
As your wife does wither away.
And I know you're scared of being lonely,
But you run away from your friends.
Give your wife's final moments your presence,
So that she can rest alright.
Have you heard the news Mr. Dandelion?
Your precious flower doesn't have long.
Will you be by her side, crying,
And will you sing her that precious song?
Have you heard the news Mr. Dandelion?
She passed in her sleep last night.
The funeral is Thursday at seven,
I was hoping that, maybe, you'd come.
