She lives in a flat above the florists
the staircase smells of bluebells
and outside is a guitarist
busking, who she sometimes pays to play her favourite songs
she's so happy to be single again
she lives in a flat above the florists
the owner, Anna says to help herself
to lilies for her room
outside there is a guitarist
with a voice like Nat King Cole.
It took her weeks to introduce herself, 'Hi, I'm Sophie,
I live in the flat above the florists,'
Anna invites her for a cup of tea
they talk about men, make a cup and take it
outside to the guitarist
and when she sees her friends she can't wait to say
guess what! I'm single again! And I've moved
into a flat above the florists
and outside is this guitarist ...

I like this a lot - but twice it's a flat 'about' the florist's and twice it's 'above'. Did you mean this?

Yes, should be above, have corrected now!
