joe stamm - flower of the everglades كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
the house sits lonely, defiant of the sea
a monument of heartache lies at rest in wilson key
born of another time, its design of another world
footings in the sand, a brick and mortar pearl

[verse 2]
there was an oil man from texas
pockets deeper than his wells
fell for a flower of the everglades
she drowned him in her swells
when he asked her to marry
she said, “yes, but with a price
a mansion by the sea, looking over paradise”

[chorus]
and how she loved that home
furious as a hurricane can storm
planted in the sand under the sun, over the keys
a flower of the everglades, living out her dreams

[verse 3]
kids need raising and a husband needs love
she’d give ’em all they needed while her own roof sits above
thirteen years of sunsets, peaking through the palms
storms blew in and out, the mansion always holding strong
[verse 4]
sirens sang on labor day, 1935
a hurricane destroyer, that no one could survive
her family begged and pleaded, finally forced to drive away
her silhouette defiant in the violent ocean spray

[chorus]
and how she loved that home
furious as a hurricane can storm
planted in the sand under the sun, over the keys
a flower of the everglades, living out her dreams

[bridge]
from backyard views in bedrooms inside foster homes
she dreamed of seagull cries in paradise
and a place to call her own
a promise to the ocean, if it found her, she would stay
and it holds her in its rhythms, ever whispering her name
flower of the everglades, flower of the everglades
flower of the everglades

[outro]
the oil man long dead, her children up and grown
still refuse to sell our mother’s precious home
the ocean her grave, the mansion her stone
carved with a flower this part of florida’s never known
