Lyrics

I got you at the depot

I brought you to the depot

Just so I could watch you grow

Intending to witness your growth

I put you in the soil

I planted you in the soil

So you can grow some tomatoes

To cultivate tomatoes


You're out there on the patio

You're present on the patio

But you're here right at home

Yet, you're also here at home

I watch you from the window

I observe you through the window

And I wait to see what you show

Anticipating what you reveal


I spoke to you for hours

I engaged in lengthy conversations with you

While I was on the phone

While I was occupied on the phone

I loved all of the flowers

I cherished all the flowers

So why'd you die from an unknown

So why did you perish from an unknown cause


You were out there on the patio

You were present on the patio

And you died outside my home

And you passed away outside my home

I never looked outside my window

I never glanced outside my window

I couldn't look at you anymore

I couldn't bear to look at you any longer


I say goodbye

I bid farewell
