I can hear the canons calling
As though across a dream
And I can smell the smoke of hell In every stich and seem
And like flowers the bodies tumble around This mudied lot
I cannot hear them scream
Forget me not
Your voice it carries over
The hubob and the hum
And it paints the sky and circles high
Like the beating of the drum
You will scream I won't forget you
But I'll cover my cold ears
It cannot be a lie if no one here
Cause although you say day to me I know I don't belong
And although you hold my hand and say I Iove you you are wrong
Because love does not exist here in This garden there's no feeling
And you say the words so often that I barely know the meaning
And when all the flowers are rotten
And all the cannons shot
I'll scream but you won't hear forget me not
And in years to come
You'll wonder to the place upon our hill
And then you'll cry to our painted sky
I loved him then I love him still
And you'll strew some sage and lilies
And rose is where I rot
Of all the flowers you picked
I knew you would forget forget me not
