Lyrics and translation
Original
Soul as empty as a whiskey glass.
Bed as cold as it can be. I've been waking up alone too long.
Lonely ain't got nothing on me.
Heart as hollow as an old dead hickory.
Rambling man in me is dying.
Still ain't found the one to settle me down, but it ain't from a lack of trying. No, it ain't from a lack of trying.
'Cause every night, I close my eyes and pray for something I can hold on to. Where she at? And what do I gotta do?
Tell me, who's gonna water my flowers?
Who's gonna cry my name?
When they lay me down in the cold hard ground and I meet my higher power, who's gonna water my flowers?
Sand is slipping through the hourglass. There's a number on my nights and days.
I need a brown-eyed baby, come around and save me 'cause I can't go on this way.
No, I ain't going out this way.
Every night, I close my eyes and pray for something I can hold on to. Where she at? What do I gotta do?
Tell me, who's gonna water my flowers?
Who's gonna cry my name?
When they lay me down in the cold hard ground and I meet my higher power, who's gonna water my flowers?
Is it too much to ask for something that will last?
Yeah, long after I'm gone and I've sang the last of my songs, who's gonna water my flowers?
Every night, I close my eyes and pray for something I can hold on to. Where she at? What do I gotta do?
Tell me, who's gonna water my flowers?
Who's gonna cry my name?
When they lay me down in the cold hard ground and I'm in my final hour, who's gonna water my flowers?
