Brother Flower F/ Kimmie Rhodes Lyrics - Townes Van Zandt

Brother flower, are you listenin'? 

Let me sing a song for you 

Brother flower, petals glistenin', 

In the bashful mornings dew 

Brother flower, when the sun shines 

And the dew has flown away 

If you don't mind weak and wrong rhymes 

Brother flower, may I stay? 

Brother flower, you ain't lonely 

For you've always been alone 

But I haven't been so lucky 

I had love and now it's gone 

I have arms to hold another 

Never to hold her again 

I have life to give lover 

You have life to give the wind 

Brother flower, when the snow flies 

And you lay your beauty down 

Brother flower, are you sleepin' 

There upon the cold, cold ground 

Brother flower, please awaken 

Show the sky your face of blue 

Let me know I ain't forsaken 

Seems like all I have is you
