lyrics

Wind stirs the branches
Setting sail the seeds and leaves
Like slave ships a-rowing
Free in the breeze

I was promised fortunes
In the land beyond the sea
All I found was the devil
And he looks a lot like me

You look like your mother
And I’m my father’s son
Let’s lie down in the shade
And wake up in the sun

With flowers all around us
In your hair and at your feet
When the color’s gone
They still smell sweet

Some birds sing at twilight
Some birds sing at dawn
Some birds sing all night
Mocking me with their songs

These flowers that I cut for you
Are drowning in a vase
I’ve been so long without you
I can’t recall your face

With flowers all around us
In your hair and at your feet
When the color’s gone
They still smell as sweet

Wind stirs the branches
Setting sail the seeds and leaves
Like slave ships a-rowing
Free in the breeze

Let us quit this country
Let us leave the land
Let us go with nothing to show
But a suitcase in our hands

Yes we’re running from the devil
We are what the devil needs
But my suitcase is over flowing
With wild flower seeds

Yes there’s flowers all around us
In your hair and at your feet
And when the color’s gone
They still smells sweet

Yes there’s flowers all around us
In your hair and at your feet
When the color’s gone
They still smell sweet
Sweet
Sweet
