Brother Flower — текст песни (Townes Van Zandt)

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 dont mind weak and wrong rhymes

Brother flower, may I stay?





Brother flower, you aint lonely

For youve always been alone

But I havent been so lucky

I had love and now its 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 aint forsaken

Seems like all I have is you
