Wildflower - Esmé Patterson

Back when I was changing like the weather,

Back when I let you kiss my lips and I let you see my tears

I sat down to write you this letter

Cause maybe you’ve been cryin' baby and I’m nowhere near

I went down to the sound to escape the crowd

They all talk so loud, saying nothing at all

Fever of youth it keeps the mind so clean

We get hungry, we get reckless, we get drunk on our thoughts

We see right and wrong and nothing in between

We borrow to buy what can never be bought

I went down to the south to escape the crowd

They all talk so loud, saying nothing at all

And a wildflower dies like a rose in a glass

But one bends back to earth and one’s thrown in the trash

I wrote you this letter I’m just tryin' to say

Once you said someday you might need me

Well if someday ever happened to be today

Just come on down here darling and see me

I went down to the south to escape the crowd

cause they all talk too loud, saying nothing at all

saying nothing at all
