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
