Flowers Won’t Grow (in Gardens of Stone) Songtext
von Don Williams

Could it be our love wasn′t planted deep enough
Or could it be we just didn't try


Looking back we see, so much that we left undone
We should have known it would wither and die
Flowers wont grow in gardens of stone
The ground must be tended but we left it alone
The seeds that we scattered are all parched and blown
Flowers wont grow in a garden of stone
Thinking ′bout it now, it was only pride I know
There was so much that we wouldn't give
Both of us in time took what might have been a home
And made it a place where nothing could live
Flowers wont grow in gardens of stone
The ground must be tended but we left it alone
The seeds that we scattered are all parched and blown
Flowers wont grow in a garden of stone
