windflower
seals and crofts
o.s:
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

take a warning, son
