Flowered prose and fallen snow
Another year, and the sky is clear

Queen Elizabeth and Kennedy
Rose-of-Sharon dinner plates
Sweet William by the lemon tree

Blazing stars and bleeding hearts
And widow's tears
Flowered prose and fallen snow
Another year, and the sky is clear
Michigan, yeah yeah

Another year, and the sky is clear
