Loreena Mckennitt - Seeds Of Love lyrics

rate me

I sowed the seeds of love

I sowed them in the spring

I gathered them up in the morning so clear

When the small birds so sweetly sing

When the small birds so sweetly sing

The gardener was standing by

I asked him to choose for me

He chose for me the violet, the lily and the pink

But those I refused all three

But those I refused all three

The violet I did not like

Because it bloomed so soon

The lily and the pink I really over-think

So I thought I would wait till June

So I thought I would wait till June

In June there was a red rose bud

That is the flower for me

I often times have plucked that red rose bud

Till I gained the willow tree

Till I gained the willow tree

The willow tree will twist

The willow tree will twine

I often have wished I was in the young man's arms

Who once had the arms of mine

Who once had the arms of mine

I sowed the seeds of love

I sowed them in the spring

I gathered them up in the morning so soon

When the small birds so sweetly sing

When the small birds so sweetly sing
