Cloud Tears

Love Me

“Flowers In The Asphalt” is an urban folk meditation on the quiet resilience of cities — and the people who pass through them.

Subways hum. Brick holds memory. Footprints fade.
But in the cracks of broken concrete, something still survives.

Built on brushed drums, acoustic guitars, warm bass, and a subtle banjo lifting the chorus, this track keeps the production simple and human — letting the lyric do the walking.

We’re only here for a little while.
The city keeps going.

LYRICS
(C)2026 Ggreg Snyder

{Verse 1]
The subway hums beneath the street
A million lives on tired feet
They see the gray and nothing more
There's so much here that we ignore   

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Focus on the things that we see
Between what was and what will be  

[Chorus]
There are flowers in the asphalt, waiting to be found 
The city makes its music — if you lean into the sound   
While some things fade away, other things will thrive
In the cracks of broken concrete, something will survive   

[Verse 2]  
A townhouse made of weathered brick
It's built to last, instead of quick
Each window has a tale its own
Some stories told, most never known

[Pre-Chorus 2]
New blood does a city some good 
Add your legend to the neighborhood

[Chorus]
There are flowers in the asphalt, waiting to be found 
The city makes its music — if you lean into the sound 
While some things fade away, other things will thrive
In the cracks of broken concrete, something will survive 

[Bridge] 
These footprints won't be here for very long
A different age will hear the city's song
Another heart will walk the local beat
And find the life that lies beneath their feet

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Roots don’t ask for softer ground
They find their way where cracks are found

[Chorus]
There are flowers in the asphalt, waiting to be found 
The city makes its music — if you lean into the sound 
Some day we'll fade away, someone else will thrive
When our story fades to dust, the flowers will survive

You'll Remember Me Then
