Brother Flower, may I stay?
Let me know I ain't forsaken
There upon the cold, cold ground
Never to hold her again
I have arms to hold another
Brother Flower, you ain't lonely
Brother Flower, when the sun shines
And you lay your beauty down
If you don't mind weak and wrong rhymes
Brother Flower, when the snow flies
Brother Flower, please awaken
In the bashful mornings dew
Brother Flower, petals glistenin'
But I haven't been so lucky
And the dew has flown away
I had love and now it's gone
I have life to give lover
Show the sky your face of blue
For you've always been alone
You have life to give the wind
Brother Flower, are you sleepin'?
