Wildflower
Words & Music by D. Edwards & D. Richardson
Recorded by Skylark, 1972
Em Em7 C#m7-5 CM7
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine,
Am7 D7 GM7 G6
And many times, her eyes fought back the tears;
Em Em7 C#m7-5 CM7
And when her youthful world was about to fall in,
Am7 D7 Am7 D7
Each time her slender shoulders drew the weight of all her fears,
Am7 D7
And a sorrow no one hears
CM7 Bm7 Am7 F7 E
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears.
Refrain:
CM7 Am7 GM7 G6
Let her cry for she's a lady,
C B7 Em B+
Let her dream for she's a child;
C Bm7 Am7 D9
Let the rain fall down upon her --
Am7 D7 GM7
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild.
Em Em7 C#m7-5 CM7
Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken,
Am7 D7 GM7 G6
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows;
Em Em7 C#m7-5 CM7
And when you look into her eyes, you won't believe
Am7 D7 Am7 D7
The way she's always paying for a debt she never owed,
Am7 D7
And a silent wind still blows
CM7 Bm7 Am7 F7 E
That only she can hear, and so she goes.
Repeat Refrain:
Bridge:
CM7 GM7
And if by chance I should hold her,
CM7 GM7
Let me hold her for a time;
CM7 GM7
But if allowed just one possession,
Am Am7 GM7 B7
I would pick her from the garden to be mine.
Repeat Refrain:
