"Windflowers"

(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 and now I cannot break away

their sweet bouquet disappears like a vapor in the desert
so...take a warning. son.....

Windflowers....ancient windflowers their beauty captures every
young dreamer who lingers near them
but 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
take a warning son

Windflowers
their beauty captures every
young dreamer
who lingers near them
ancient windflowers I love you
