lyrics
She plucked a summer rose from her victory garden
Back in 1917
She tucked it in her hair and danced between
A row of sunflowers that stretched as far as she could see
Another world away, he watched her dance
He said he saw it in a dream
He stumbled in the trench, one last gasp of hope
And through the terror and the smoke
He saw the sunflowers
The story's traveled down
Generations now
And now it's in Ukraine
There's a soldier there
Had a vision where
The woman that he loved
Was dancing
In a row of sunflowers
