Wildflower

written by Doug Edwards David Richardson

She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
but many times her eyes fights back the tears
Lord Lord
and when her useful world was about to fall in
each time her slender shoulder
fought the weight of all her fears
and a sigh that no one hears
still rings in midnight silence in her ear

Let her cry, for she's a lady
let her dream, she is the child
let the rain fall down upon her
she's a free and gentle flower
growing wild

And if by chance
I should hold her
let me hold her for all time
if allowed just one possession
I would pick her from the garden
to be mine
hey-yeah baby
hmmmmm yeah yeah

Be careful how you touch her
for she will awaken
sleep's the only freedom
all that she knows, Lord Lord
and when you walk into her eyes
you won't believe all the ways she's always paying
for the debt she never owed
and a silent wind still blows
but only she can hear
so she goes

Let her cry, for she's a lady
let her dream, oh, she is the child
let the rain fall down upon her
she's a free and gentle flower
growing wild
she's my flower growing wild

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my flower
growing wild
oh yeah
baby, baby
yeah, she's my flower
and she's growing wild
ohhh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
flower, flower, baby
sweeter than honey baby
sweeter than sweet baby
I love you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
my flower
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
my flower my flower
