Brother Flower lyrics

Brother Flower, are you listening?

Let me sing a song for you

Brother Flower, petals glistening

In the bashful morning's 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 a lover

You have life to give the wind

Brother Flower, when the snow flies

And you lay your beauty down

Brother Flower, are you sleeping?

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
