Mike Heron - Flowers Of the Forest lyrics

Richard Thomson: lead guitar

Rose Simpson: bass

Dave Mattacks: drums

Sweet love the words that made you cry

They came from one that don't have love like we do

Even if you'd give him all your sweet love

Probably turn his back and walk away,

Lookin' for a trick and he wouldn't understand

That you just want to stretch out your hand

You know he's closed himself to all the grief and pain that he can't stand

And he's bound his heart with an iron band

Come dry your tears like the sun dries the rain

Deep is the river running through my life

Full shines the sun upon it

The girl I love swims there all day long

You know she is bright as the flowers of the forest

The tender tears in your smiling eyes

They meld me right to my soul

We have to part now for a while

But our lives will cross for ever

You'll bless every place you pass through

So much good in all you do.

I can't understand how anyone could hurt you so bad

So sad to see them hide from what they are

Me I know you like I know the song in my soul

It's gonna be all right
