风信子/ 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.
