[Verse 1]
Woke up one morning half asleep
With all my blankets in a heap
And yellow roses scattered all around
The time was still approaching four
I couldn't stand it anymore
Saw marigolds upon my eiderdown
[Chorus]
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me good
[Verse 2]
So I lay upon my side
With all the windows open wide
Couldn't pressurize my head from speaking
Hoping not to make a sound
I pushed my bed into the grounds
In time to catch the sight that I was seeking
[Chorus]
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me good
[Bridge]
If this perfect pleasure has to be
Then this is paradise to me
If my pillow's getting wet
I don't see that it matters much to me
[Verse 3]
I heard the flowers in the breeze
Make conversation with the trees
Relieved to leave reality behind me
With my commitments in a mess
My sleep has gone away depressed
In a world of fantasy you'll find me
[Chorus]
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me good
[Outro]
Watching flowers in the rain
Power in the rain
Oh, flowers in the rain
Flower power in the rain
Powerful, flowerful rain
Flowerful, powerful, flowerful rain
Flowers in the Rain was written by Roy Wood.
Flowers in the Rain was produced by Denny Cordell.
