Brother Flower Lyrics
Brother flower, are you listenin?
Let me sing a song for you
Brother flower, petals glistenin,
In the bashful mornings dew
Brother flower, when the sun shines
And the dew has flown away
If you dont mind weak and wrong rhymes
Brother flower, may I stay?
Brother flower, you aint lonely
For youve always been alone
But I havent been so lucky
I had love and now its gone
I have arms to hold another
Never to hold her again
I have life to give lover
You have life to give the wind
Brother flower, when the snow flies
And you lay your beauty down
Brother flower, are you sleepin
There upon the cold, cold ground
Brother flower, please awaken
Show the sky your face of blue
Let me know I aint forsaken
Seems like all I have is you
Let me sing a song for you
Brother flower, petals glistenin,
In the bashful mornings dew
Brother flower, when the sun shines
And the dew has flown away
If you dont mind weak and wrong rhymes
Brother flower, may I stay?
For youve always been alone
But I havent been so lucky
I had love and now its gone
I have arms to hold another
Never to hold her again
I have life to give lover
You have life to give the wind
And you lay your beauty down
Brother flower, are you sleepin
There upon the cold, cold ground
Brother flower, please awaken
Show the sky your face of blue
Let me know I aint forsaken
Seems like all I have is you

Beautiful song. As is most of Townes' work, but I really love this one. First heard it off 'Rearview Mirror', an excellent version of it.
