Текст песни Мы живы - Белые цветы

On our nightstand in a bottle of water were some white and pink flowers. They were brought to engineer Balashov. Sometimes I spent hours looking at these flowers, revealing ever new shades, comprehending the details of the structure of the petals. I wanted to believe that the flowers would never fade. But once a nurse cleaning the room accidentally shook them, and the petals crumbled, leaving bare stems. I felt sad. I asked the nurse, who was sweeping away the petals from the table, to give me a few pieces, and put them between the pages of the notebook. I think years will pass - and the dried petals will remind me of the very difficult days and nights of my life. ("White Flowers", A. Abdulyasov)
