Windflowers

 

——Seals and Crofts

 

Windflowers,

 

Windflowers,

 

 

 

My father told me not to go near them.

 

He said 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 can not break away.

 

The sweet bouquet disappears,

 

Like the 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.
