Flower Child (All That You Can't Leave Behind Sessions)
(All you know, you don't know yet)
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...
(Hush)
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, 'cause 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 steel 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 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
