Brother Flower
|
by Townes Van Zandt

|
Brother Flower, are you listenin'?
|
Let me sing a song for you
|
Brother Flower, petals glistenin',
|
in the bashful mornings dew
|
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, 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
|
I have arms to hold another
|
never to hold her again
|
I have life to give lover
|
You have life to give the wind
|
|
Brother Flower, when the snow flies
|
and you lay your beauty down
|
Brother Flower, are you sleepin'
|
there upon the cold, cold ground
|
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
|
|
