Seeds Of Love - Bellowhead

Oh, I sowed the seeds of love

I sowed them all in the spring

I sowed them all on one May morning

While the small birds they did sing

Oh, the gardener was standing by

And I asked him to choose for me

He chose me the violet the lily and the pink

Those flowers I refused all three

For love it is tender and love it is true

And love is a pleasure when first it is new

But when it grows old, then love grows cold

And fades like morning dew

Oh, the violet I did not like

Because it would fade too soon

The lily and the pink I did really overthink

And I vowed I’d stay 'til June

For in June there grows a red rose bud

And that is the flower for me

I oft times had plucked that red rose bud

'Til I gained the willow tree

For love it is tender and love it is true

And love is a pleasure when first it is new

But when it grows old, then love grows cold

And fades like morning dew

Oh, the willow tree it will twist

And the willow tree it will twine

And so will that false and deluded young girl

Who once stole this heart of mine

Who once stole this heart of mine

Oh, who once stole this heart of mine

For love it is tender and love it is true

And love is a pleasure when first it is new

But when it grows old, then love grows cold

And fades like morning dew
