Your Eyes Will Taste Of The Flowers Lyrics - Phil Ochs

I'm a leavin' on the morning railroad 

in the drizzlin' darkness of the rain 

and I hear with every wheel a turning 

secrets sounding of your name. 

And your eyes will taste of the flowers 

your lips of the morning dew 

and your hair will taste of the meadow 

and all the world will taste of you. 

I can't tell the reason why I'm leaving 

I don't know just what I'm heading for 

I just know with every mile I wander 

I'm needing you another mile more. 

*chorus* 

Oh if you never get my letter 

you know your memory will stay 

with every song that I am singing 

with every word that I say. 

*chorus* 

I'll carry your picture in my pocket 

when times are good or times are bad 

and if I chance to meet another 

it won't take away the good times that 

singin' all the world will taste of you.
