When the Lillies Die

[Verse 1]
Shanghai garden, blossom kiss
The currency of lovers would insist
Empty promise, empty prayer
There really wasn’t much to keep me there

[Pre-Chorus]
How is it you are so surprised?

[Chorus]
In paradise, the wintertime came early in the year
You brought the frost and made yourself quite clear
So don’t ask why, ask why
When the lilies die

[Verse 2]
Foreign walls, electric smile
Can occupy the stranger for a while
Plastic doors and plastic keys
It all went from a whirlwind to a breeze

[Pre-Chorus]
How is it you are so surprised?

[Chorus]
In paradise, the wintertime came early in the year
You brought the frost and made yourself quite clear
So don’t ask why, ask why
When the lilies die

[Chorus]
In paradise, the wintertime came early in the year
You brought the frost and made yourself quite clear
So don’t ask why, ask why
When the lilies die

[Chorus]
In paradise, the wintertime came early in the year
You brought the frost and made yourself quite clear
So don’t ask why, ask why
When the lilies die
