Ben Cook on “Every Flower I See:”

“Flowers have been a powerful and prominent symbol in my life for as long as I can remember. When I was young, my mom moved me and my little brother back to Toronto from the U.K. where she found a job working with plants and flowers in the back of a newspaper. She worked long hours there, but also somehow managed to keep an immaculate and beautiful garden of her own while raising us by herself.”

“Every Flower I See” Lyrics:

i wish to pick you every flower i see

and before you leave (please)

just let me walk you to your door

and i, i wish to walk with you down every street

so simply

i remember everything you’ve ever worn

(so don’t go now)

cuz I’ve only just begun to get to know you

and i can think of all the fun that we’d be having

do you ever watch the clouds while remembering me

sometimes i really don’t believe you wanna hang with me

are you just lonely

or maybe i should give a little more

and I, i sit and watch the gardens turn from green to blue

thinking about you
