Flowers Of The Forest

Mike Heron


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
