rate me

From the albums UNBORN CHILD (1974) and LIFT UP YOUR VOICES AND SING, VOL. 3 (1997).

(spoken)

windflowers

windflowers,

my father told me not to go near them

he said he feared them always

and he told me that they carried him away

windflowers, beautiful windflowers,

i couldn't wait to touch them

to smell them

i held them closely

now i cannot break away

their sweet bouquet

disappears

like a vapor in the desert

take a warning, son.....

windflowers....

ancient windflowers.

their beauty captures

every young dreamer who lingers near them

ancient windflowers i love you

(sung)

windflowers

my father told me not to

go near them

he feared them always

said they carried him away

windflowers

i couldn't wait to touch them

to smell them

i held them closely

now i cannot break away

their sweet bouquet disappears

like a vapor in the desert

make a warning sign

windflowers

their beauty captures every

young dreamer

who lingers near them

ancient windflowers i love you
