He said,
"Oh Mary, contrary, how does your garden grow?
Come with me and you'll be the 7th maid in a row."
My answer was laughter soft as I lowered my head
"You're too late, I'm afraid this flower's already dead."

Resetting as I was with blossoms in full bloom
Never a chance to pause with magic to consume
A shadow walked behind me, offering his hand
But couldn't understand

He said,
"Oh Mary, contrary, how does your garden grow?
Come with me and you'll be the 7th maid in a row."
My answer was laughter soft as I lowered my head
"You're too late, I'm afraid this flower's already dead."

Scattering petals down the road without an end
Left on the battleground for one I called my friend
Maybe he loved me as he took me by the hand
And tried to understand

I said,
"Oh Mary, contrary, how does your garden grow?
Stay with me, I can't see anywhere that we could go."
Their answer was laughter as darkness swallowed them up
"One more time, I'll be fine. Sometimes kindness is enough."

"Oh Mary, contrary, how does your garden grow?"
"Don't leave me, please don't be the seventh maid in a row."
My answer, a whisper, soft as he lowered his head
"Set them free, I'm sorry, this flower's already dead."

Okie, I'm quickly falling in love with this AU. I honestly think that it's one of my favorites by now.
First of all, if you haven't checked out Overgrowth(the Flowerfell story), what are you doing with your life?!

(Also, this song made me burst into tears so much that I couldn't see the "end loop" button ;3)
