I boght a cherry blossom
I found it in a market place
where you were selling
dreams and golden skirts

Looking at your lonely face
I understood the meaning of your love

No glory or disgrace
I just want you deep inside

So please tell me why
you left me on the corner
behind Earlham street

I bought a cherry blossom
just to know your name

Hey you please stay

I thought that me and you
could just be one thing

Hey you please smile at me

I saw you pretty bloom
I found you on a shining day
I gave you a penny for a stolen pearl

And then, when September came
I discovered you had gone away

No word of painful love
I just need you deep inside
