The Flower
I would like to be the moon and with a sigh just let myself go...
or one of those clouds that just float, without effort
though I'm nothing but a flower, and planted always here I'll have to stay
waiting for a strong wind to carry me, to another garden far away.
CHORUS:
And I hope it blows softly, so it brushes my face,
and I hope it comes with a nice, cool rain.
I would like to be a butterfly that gives itself up to the wind,
or one of those leaves that falls to the ground every autumn.
though I'm nothing but a flower, and this same sky I'll have to watch
waiting for a strong wind to carry me, so other places I can visit.
CHORUS
I'm nothing but a flower, and this same sky I'll have to watch
although it's nice when the sun comes out and makes my colors change
and it's nice when the night falls and the sky is full of stars,
and it's nice to hear the sound of that nice, cool rain
falling down
