    a little help please ... :)
    i got most of it but there are some lines where i really dont know for sure, lol.

    they were lovely red flowers, lying in the trees
    they smelled like perfume, on the ??? queen
    ???? ?????
    the future was open, how could we ever have known

    from south san diego to portland maine,
    i have travelled this country seeking my fame
    and through all the what fors????
    the flames and trap doors through which all of us fell
    stories that i cannot tell

    and i wish that i ...

    now the ocean tides coming
    up with the moon??
    i'm afraid we're all living at sea level too
    and youre seeing this part of the tragedy through ?????
    when the bottle will break, the cradle will fall
    down on you

    the second ?????? of his own appetite
    all this hope and potential to ....??
    you think to yourself, i get lucky cards
    but you dont even know who the hell that you are

    and i, still i wish that i was born in the spring

    son of a, son of, son of a bitch
    cause the daughter's a damn ?
    thats the way that it is
    nothing else changes, out in the sun
    when the wine that you drink is the wine that you become

    or you say maybe this time i can dig out of this
    ???????????????
    and you get yourself pissed,
    and suddenly everyone has got some advice
    you sell their suggestions without thinking twice

    the friends that ive had, and the friends that ive made,
    the friends that ive lost, with my countless mistakes?
    and isnt it all just a slap in the face?
    and no single person could take off the place ??? with her

    still i wish that i was born in the spring
    born in the spring
    cause everyone's gone, we all die don't you know?
    are you so disappointed that it all was a show?
    and the first love you had was the only thing real,
    and what brought it together in the end was the kill ?

    and i, still i wish that i was born in the spring

    that little red caboose just starts to work that old smoke stack...

    haha i just realized the last couple verses have question marks because they are questions, not because i'm unsure... those ones are pretty clear.

    This is my attempt!
    They were lovely red flowers lining the trees
    And they smelled like perfume on the hand of a queen
    The car read "Just Married" on the back window
    The future was open and how could we ever have known

    from south san diego to portland maine,
    i have traveled this country seeking my fame
    and through all the what fors?
    the flames and trap doors through which all of us fell
    stories that i cannot tell

    and i wish that i ...

    now the ocean tides coming up with the moon
    i'm afraid we're all living at sea level too
    and youre seeing this part of the tragedy through
    when the bottle will break, the cradle will fall down on you

    the second rate author of his own epitaph
    all this potent potential destroyed in the graph
    you think to yourself, i get lucky at cards
    but you dont even know who the hell that you are

    and i, still i wish that i was born in the spring

    son of a, son of, son of a bitch
    cause the daughter's are damned
    thats the way that it is
    nothing much changes, out in the sun
    when the wine that you drink is the wine you become

    or you say maybe this time i can dig out of this
    so the family relents
    and you get yourself pissed,
    and suddenly everyone has got some advice
    you sell their suggestions without thinking twice

    the friends that ive had, and the friends that ive made,
    the friends that ive lost, with my hapless mistakes?
    and isnt it all just a slap in the face?
    that no single person could take up the place of her

    still i wish that i was born in the spring
    born in the spring
    cause everyone's gone, we all die don't you know?
    are you so disappointed that it all was a show?
    and the first love you had was the only thing real,
    and what brought it together in the end was the kill?

    and i, still i wish that i was born in the spring

    Nice work. The only thing I can add is that he says "second rate author of his own epitaph".

    That's the line I was wondering about. My friend and I were going back and forth between the 2 lines. Thanks for the clarification.

    i thought it was "you think to yourself, i'll get luckier cards."

    something dies when you grow older, but you do the best you can

    I think it's probably "I'll get lucky at cards" because of the saying "lucky at cards, unlucky in love".
