I found a flower in a field | |
A field of cars and people, | |
Rows of concrete, paint, and steel | |
Manhattan is where it grew | |
And I thought, to cut it from its stem | |
And take it from the cracks | |
Between bricks that it lay in | |
And save it from city strife | |
Away from the city life | |
Then someone, they whispered in my ear | |
A county girl can't be made out of anybody here | |
Don't touch it, it loves you not | |
Don't touch it, it loves you not | |
Cause blue birds, | |
Don't fly without their wings | |
And when we put them in a cage | |
The world can't hear them sing | |
So selfish when greed sets in | |
Possession, the king of sin | |
And people don't ever let you down | |
Forever find a way to kill whatever love they've found | |
A heart beat and | |
I want it too | |
Manhattan is where she grew | |
So I left and | |
I let the flower be | |
And yesterday saw the flower on cable | |
TVMuch prettier than here with me | |
For all of the world to see | |
Much prettier than here with me |
