Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, Brother Flower, are you listenin'?
Let me sing a song for you
Brother Flower, petals glistening
In the bashful morning's dew
[Verse 2]
Brother Flower, when the sun shines
And the dew has flown away
If you don't mind weak and wrong rhymes
Brother Flower, may I stay?
[Verse 3]
Brother Flower, you ain't lonely
For you've always been alone
But I haven't been so lucky
I had love and now it's gone
[Verse 4]
I have arms to hold another
Never to hold her again
I have life to give a lover
You have life to give the wind
[Verse 5]
Brother Flower, when the snow flies
And you lay your beauty down
Brother Flower, are you sleepin'?
There upon the cold, cold ground
[Verse 6]
Brother Flower, please awaken
Show the sky your face of blue
Let me know I ain't forsaken
Seems like all I have is you
[Verse 7]
Brother Flower, are you listenin'?
Let me sing a song for you
Brother Flower, petals glistening
In the bashful morning's dew
[Verse 8]
Brother Flower, when the sun shines
And the dew has flown away
If you don't mind weak and wrong rhymes
Brother Flower, may I stay?
Brother Flower, may I stay?
