Loreena McKennitt lyrics - Seeds Of Love

album: A Winter Garden (1995)
genre:

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 heart of mine 
Who once had the heart 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
