  Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall, written by Paul Simon and released in 1965.
  
  Life does not last forever, and will eventually be worn down and wilt, just like flowers in the rainfall.
  Cherish life, and provide nourishment, while consistently weeding around diligently, and keeping the relationship between family and friends strong and alive!!!
  Peace and Love!!!
  
  Through the corridors of sleep
  Past shadows dark and deep
  My mind dances and leaps in confusion
  I don’t know what is real
  I can’t touch what I feel
  And I hide behind the shield of my illusion
  
  So I’ll continue to continue to pretend
  My life will never end
  And flowers never bend
  With the rainfall
  
  The mirror on my wall
  Casts an image dark and small
  But I’m not sure at all it’s my reflection
  I am blinded by the light
  Of God and truth and right
  And I wander in the night without direction
  
  No matter if you’re born
  To play the King or pawn
  For the line is thinly drawn ‘tween joy and sorrow
  So my fantasy
  Becomes reality
  And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow
  
  Feedback is much appreciated. Thank you!!!

  Well played, Rene. I believe this song was from the first Simon and Garfunkle album which was released around the time Dustin Hoffman starred in the movie “The Graduate”. Odds are, anyone younger than 70 may not have heard of it, but the album was a huge hit when it came out, and inspired many people to learn to play guitar.

  Rene,
  
  Another great offering from you sir. You have a very recognizable voice that is geared for radio air play.

  Again, another masterpiece of a performance, Rene – beautifully done, as we’ve come to expect from you 👍🎶
  
  I hadn’t heard this one before, but it certainly has that Simon & Garfunkel feel to it!
  
  Best wishes my friend 😎
