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
