Wildflowers

You're like the first wildflower in the spring
You're like a breath of what is new in everything
I'd like to build my whole world 'round you
It's sad illusion for I know just what you do

Wildflowers blaze in glory when they're born,
and fade as quickly in the early summer's morn
And if you pick them they're life is shorter still
So best to leave them as they're bloomin' on the hill

You're like the first wildflower in the spring
You're like a breath of what is new in everything
I'd like to build my whole world 'round you
It's sad illusion for I know just what you do

You'd steal my love and then you'd swiftly fade away
You'd leave me callin' at the end of winter's day
Though you are tempting as a flower full in bloom,
Still I can read you like a fortune full of doom.

You're like the first wildflower in the spring ...
