Take It Slow

Golden desert flower
Soaking up the sun
Her fragrance rises up into the mountain air
And its begging him to come
Flying through the forest
Buzzing through the trees
He hears her calling out to him once again
So he packs his bags and leaves
There he goes
He hits the road
But she grew too high
Scared to try
And now there's golden pedals falling from the sky
And he flew too low
Couldn't let her go
When you're hearts beating fast
Mmm

You've got to take it slow
Ooo take it slow
Mmm

Her eyes are like the ocean
Vast and full of waves
There's sunken treasure sparkling deep within
Their underwater caves
But he is just a pirate ship
Jolly Rodger to the core
And he would give it all to walk the plank
But he's shipwrecked on the shore
And there he goes
Ooo crossbones and skulls
So her swells grew high
To wave goodbye
And now there's tears of rain falling from the sky
And his ship won't row
Couldn't let her go
His heart was beating fast
Mmm

And he forgot to take it slow
OooTake it slow Mmm
Take it slow
Ooo Take It Slow Mmm

So he's headed back to the mountains
As high as he can get
From that desert flowerbed
And salt water stings
That's why this singer sings
And when this dreamer dreams
It's of sunflowers and waves
