Wildflower Lyrics

-5 M7
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine,
M7
And many times, her eyes fought back the tears;
-5 M7
And when her youthful world was about to fall in,
Each time her slender shoulders drew the weight of all her fears,
And a sorrow no one hears
M7
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears.
Refrain:
M7 M7
Let her cry for she's a lady,
Let her dream for she's a child;
Let the rain fall down upon her --
M7
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild.
-5 M7
Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken,
M7
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows;
-5 M7
And when you look into her eyes, you won't believe
The way she's always paying for a debt she never owed,
And a silent wind still blows
M7
That only she can hear, and so she goes.
Repeat Refrain:
Bridge:
M7 M7
And if by chance I should hold her,
M7 M7
Let me hold her for a time;
M7 M7
But if allowed just one possession,
M7
I would pick her from the garden to be mine.
Repeat Refrain:
