lyrics

Hey, where you running to, my wilful wild eyed child
Are you running away?
Where is your home now, where are your family
Gone are the flowers where you played

Though the game seems over now,
and the cause seems lost
And the crowd seem silent now
You've no need to count the cost

Tomorrow will see me somewhere else but here
But I'll still sing my songs for you
Some times their presence seem clearer than it was
But then those times may be untrue

But who said no flowers grew here anyway
When all they need is time and love
Aim to plant the seeds your given
And the ones that slip through will be enough

Please my wild eyed one If your going my way
May I accompany you upon your road
It seems a sorry state, no colours hides its edges
Even though along it, all the seeds were sowed

But anyway, there's a boat built for your ocean
And it's waiting where your road begins
It's got yellow sails and a stern painted emerald
And fabrics dyed in saffron, and sequined

And you can light its lanterns, they will flutter in the breeze
And sail on till the edge of the world
Where heros of adventures, in glory all wait
For your boats golden banners to unfurl

But who said no flowers grew here anyway
When all of us can see they are
Deep in the stillness that is where we sit
Illuminated by a splendid shining star

I could have given you fine horses
I could have given you fine doves
i could have given you fine tigers
I could have given you fine love.
