Down at the church the flower girl sits.

Legs innocent, apart.

I make the picture puzzle fit to start your heart.

 Em              D     (Dsus4)
Painted sister stopped beside.

A word upon her saintly lip.

 Em                       D              B     (B7)
Perhaps admonishing the child inside the open slit.

No little flower girl singing in my troubled dream -
