Delayed Reaction

 
Find the flowers cast aside
They're not for her, she's lost her pride
The tears that glisten in the sun can't be denied

Hear the laughter in the air
As she walks crying people stare
A lonely figure in the crowd
Lost in despair

Go to her before she falls
Understand her foolish action
She's sorry now she didn't know
Her love's delayed reaction

A set of footprints in the sand
A lonely woman with no man
The sorrow weighing down her heart
So hard to stand

Gather hands and circle round
The little girl wants to be found

She walked away and didn't know
Where she was bound

Go to her before she falls
Understand her foolish action
She's sorry now she didn't know
Her love's delayed reaction

Find the flowers cast aside
They're not for her, she's lost her pride
The tears that glisten in the sun can't be denied

Go to her before she falls
Understand her foolish action
She's sorry now she didn't know
Her love's delay reaction

Gather hands and circle round
The little girl wants to be found
She walked away and didn't know
