風信子/ Windflowers
By seals and crofts
Windflowers . my father told me
not to go near them.
He said he feared them always .
and he told me that they carried him away
Windflowers
Windflowers, Beautiful windflowers
I couldn't wait to touch them,
to smell them I held them closely.
And now I cannot break away.
Their sweet bouquet disappears
like the vapor in the desert.
So take a warning, son.
Windflowers
Windflowers . Ancient windflowers.
Their beauty captures every young dreamer
who lingers near them.
But ancient windflowers, I love you.
