Windflowers, my father told me not to go near them He said he feared them always, And he told me that they carried him away Windflowers, beautiful windflowers I couldn't wait to touch them, To smell them I held them closely And now I cannot break away Their sweet bouquet disappears Like the vapor in the desert So take a warning, son Windflowers, ancient windflowers Their beauty captures every young dreamer who lingers near them But ancient windflowers, I love you Windflowers, my father told me not to go near them He feared them always, said they carried him away Windflowers, I couldn't wait to touch them To smell them I held them closely Now I cannot break away Their sweet bouquet disappears like the vapor in the desert Take a warning, son Windflowers, Their beauty captures every young dreamer who lingers near them Ancient windflowers, I love you
