[Verse 1]
On Sunday afternoon,
“We’ll come back next week,”
We said, locking the door.
We left the light blue villa.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
We got in the car, started the engine,
And slowly drove down the field path.
[Chorus 1]
The yellow flowers,
Grasping in the breeze,
Swayed gently,
As if reluctant to say goodbye to us,
And it became a part of our mind.
[Verse 2]
“Our vacation is over,” my wife said, sighing deeply.
“But we had a lot of fun.”
“We can come again next week.”
[Pre-Chorus 2]
“I loved this field of yellow flowers.”
“I wonder what it’ll be like next week?” She asked.
[Chorus 2]
The yellow flowers,
Grasping in the breeze,
Swayed gently,
As if reluctant to say goodbye to us,
And it became a part of our mind.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
“A week’s worth of growth,” I replied.
“That’s not what I meant,” she replied.
“There are all kinds of vegetables lined up.”
“They’re smaller up ahead,“ I replied.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
“That’s a pretty clever way to plant this field.”
“The radishes should be ripe next week,” I said.
[Chorus 3]
The yellow flowers,
Grasping in the breeze,
Swayed gently,
As if reluctant to say goodbye to us,
And it became a part of our mind.
[Bridge]
“Yes, I’m looking forward to next week,” she replied.
I stepped on the accelerator and sped along.
Then I turned on the car radio and turned up the volume.
The familiar DJ’s voice came from the speakers.
[Final Chorus]
The yellow flowers,
Grasping in the breeze,
Swayed gently,
As if reluctant to say goodbye to us,
And it became a part of our mind.
[Instrumental Solo]
