Flower Child

On the fifth day of May she was breaking away

When the moon came and sat on your shoulder

She was still young, not yet highly strung

As you need to be when you get older

George was a street when you first faced the feat

You put money on the color of the sky

Well the color of her voice left you there no choice

But to drink the Liffey dry

The seeds that you sow

You wanna watch them growing

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Here comes Holy Joe now how would he know

How laughter can make a man cruel

It's fire on fire and lovers conspire

To either a duet or duel

When it's fire on fire the flames just get higher

The harder you work to put them out

Well you know that you're similar sugar and weedkiller

Both heading north facing south

The seeds that you sow

You wanna watch them growing

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild

What's on your breath is the fear of death

That makes such a man promiscuous

Your mouth was dry like when you were about to lie

And her lips are so luscious

You've seen it before, you hurled at her door

Like a dog when she needed a man

Now she aches and she breaks and she takes

On the weight of your world because she almost can

The seeds that you sow

Well you wanna watch them growing

The wind, where will it blow, my flower child

Growing wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild

The sky was still grey up on Appian Way

As the yellow hats dug up the road

Didn't hear what you said as the lights turned red

On a love that should have stayed gold

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart
