Cheap Flowers, Good Timing

[Verse 1] The corner shop was closing up I bought the bunch with the bent-up wrapping You'd had the kind of day that makes A person tired of explaining I rang the bell with both hands full Of yellow flowers and your favorite noodles [Pre-Chorus] You don't need a grand surprise Just a little kindness arriving right on time [Chorus] Cheap flowers, good timing You can keep the silver lining I can sit here while it rains I don't have to change the day Cheap flowers, good timing A little color in the kitchen Nothing fancy I can do Just something saying I thought of you [Verse 2] We find a jar behind the sink You trim the ends and put the kettle on The flowers lean a little left Like they're listening while you talk it out You say, "I didn't need you fixing it" I say, "I know, I just brought dinner" [Pre-Chorus] You don't need a grand surprise Just a little kindness arriving right on time [Chorus] Cheap flowers, good timing You can keep the silver lining I can sit here while it rains I don't have to change the day Cheap flowers, good timing A little color in the kitchen Nothing fancy I can do Just something saying I thought of you [Bridge - intimate solo vocal, piano and strings] Love can be an ordinary thing Remembering what somebody brings Inside a room when work is through And making that room kinder too [Instrumental interlude - orchestra and rhythm section, no vocals] [Final Chorus] Cheap flowers, good timing You can keep the silver lining I can sit here while it rains I don't have to change the day Cheap flowers, good timing A little color in the kitchen Nothing fancy I can do Just something saying I thought of you [Outro] Yellow by the window Dinner in the kitchen I thought of you
