When i got home i meant to give you some sweet chrysanthemum
The wind chimes were ringing all wrong and you were standing
In the doorway singing along
And i tried to rememeber how nice it had been
A long long time ago
But i couldn't rememeber.
I honestly could not remember
And a package came for you today, from the hunan province
The postmark burning jet black in the summer sun
Someone was changing. someone was changing from the inside out
And i turned around to face you.
Sweet peas in the garden, all in full bloom
And i thought i heard the traces of an old song murmuring in the room
Like a half-remembered conversation, i let it slip away
And then i could not rememeber
I honestly could not remember
And a package came for you today, from the hunan province
The postmark burning jet black in the summer sun
Someone was changing. someone was changing from the inside out
And i turned around to face you
