Wildflower - Skylark (Doug Edwards / Dave Richardson) 1972
Intro:
| | | | |
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
/ /
And many times, Her eyes fought back the tears
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
/ /
Each time her slender shoulders,
/ /
Bore the weight of all her fears
/ /
And a sorrow no one hears
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears
Let her cry for she's a lady
Let her dream for she's a 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 a time
But if allowed just one possession
I would pick her from the garden to be mine
Interlude:

Be careful how you touch her for she'll awaken
/ /
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
And when you walk into her eyes you won't believe
/ /
The way she's always payin'
/ /
For a debt she never owes
/ /
And a silent wind still blows
That only she can hear and so, she goes
Let her cry for she's a lady
Let her dream for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
/ /
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild
Let her cry for she's a lady
Let her dream for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
/ /
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild
/
She's a flower growing wild
She's free.......
