Emmylou Harris "Flower in the Desert" |
(Jim & Jessie McReynolds) Emmylou Harris, Carl Jackson) Emmylou Harris & Jesse and Jim McReynolds Sometimes I feel like a flower in the desert Blooming alone like a motherless child So far away in a prison of freedom The only thing living for hundreds of miles. I gave you all of the love in my heart Just like a bouquet for your beautiful hand And you stayed till its roots had grown deep as the ocean And left it alone in a cold barren land. I don't think again I will find room or reason To thirst for the water or reach for the sky I wish I was just a flower in the desert That never knowed the meaning of hello or goodbye. --- Instrumental --- I nurtured and tended the faith I had in you But the seeds of destruction were there from the start Was I born to bloom and waste my sweet fragrance On the desolate plain of your cold, cold heart. I don't think again I will find room or reason To thirst for the water or reach for the sky I wish I was just a flower in the desert That never knowed the meaning of hello or goodbye. I don't think again I will find room or reason To thirst for the water or reach for the sky I wish I was just a flower in the desert That never knowed the meaning of hello or goodbye. That never knowed the meaning of hello or goodbye... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
