wildflower
you are my wildflower
breezy and free
that mountain, I’ll have to climb
if it’s you I need
she’s my little barfly
with heavy eyes she sees
and I feel just like a boy
still buttoned to your sleeve
while I sing
where, where, where
where ya been
you are my tiny shell
washed up from the sea
lay your smile on my shoulder
leave your socks on my feet
she’s my sweetest song
she kissed away my ghost
and I spell your name in smoke
as it soaks in your clothes
while I sing
where, where, where
where ya been
where, where, where,
where’d you go
right out that door
from my bed, where you stole my pillow
with the blanket, to keep us warm
and these things of you, I’d never know
like the tickle of your nose
like the freckle on your toe
oh, where’d you go
you are my wildflower
breezy and free
put your tiny fingers, pretty in their rings
in between mine
as I sing
