Wildflower
Back when I was changin' like the weather
Back when I let you kiss my lips and I let you see my tears
I sat down to write you this letter
'Cause maybe you've been cryin' baby, and I'm nowhere near
I went down to the south to escape the crowd
They all talk so loud, sayin' nothin' at all
Fever of youth, it keeps the mind so clean
We get hungry, we get reckless, we get drunk on our thoughts
We see right and wrong and nothin' in between
We borrow to buy what can never be bought
So I went down to the south to escape the crowd
'Cause they all talk so loud, sayin' nothin' at all
And a wildflower dies like a rose in a glass
But one bends back to earth and one's thrown in the trash
I wrote you this letter, I'm just tryin' to say
Once you said someday you might need me
Well if someday ever happened to be today
Just come down here darlin' and see me
I went down to the south to escape the crowd
'Cause they all talk too loud, sayin' nothin' at all
Sayin' nothin' at all
Back when I let you kiss my lips and I let you see my tears
I sat down to write you this letter
'Cause maybe you've been cryin' baby, and I'm nowhere near
I went down to the south to escape the crowd
They all talk so loud, sayin' nothin' at all
Fever of youth, it keeps the mind so clean
We get hungry, we get reckless, we get drunk on our thoughts
We see right and wrong and nothin' in between
We borrow to buy what can never be bought
So I went down to the south to escape the crowd
'Cause they all talk so loud, sayin' nothin' at all
And a wildflower dies like a rose in a glass
But one bends back to earth and one's thrown in the trash
I wrote you this letter, I'm just tryin' to say
Once you said someday you might need me
Well if someday ever happened to be today
Just come down here darlin' and see me
I went down to the south to escape the crowd
'Cause they all talk too loud, sayin' nothin' at all
Sayin' nothin' at all
