Strawbs - The Flower And The Young Man lyrics
rate meWhile seasons change in timely way<br />
The salt sea ever flows<br />
Where open moors lie cold and bleak<br />
A single flower grows.<br />
<br />
Though winter snows fall deep and long<br />
The flower grows the while<br />
The weary traveller passing by<br />
Feels warmer for her smile.<br />
<br />
Sunshine and the tender flower<br />
Both melt the young man's heart<br />
But he who lingers waits his turn<br />
Must learn to play his part.<br />
<br />
Through summer days of warmth and love<br />
The young man tends his flower<br />
But blinded by their colours bright<br />
Heeds not the passing hour.<br />
<br />
The autumn trees once clothed with gold<br />
Now frayed and sadly worn<br />
The flower bids a chill farewell<br />
The young man's heart is torn.<br />
<br />
While seasons change in timely way<br />
The salt sea ever flows<br />
Where open moors lie cold and bleak<br />
A single flower grows.
