Lyrics for Brother Flower
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
