Fair-Weather Flower

September 2013

Guilty am I
Fair-weather flower
Growing at your feet

Waiting for water
To help me grow
My own two feet
on which I'll sow

Help me bare
This painful heat
Help me bare
This painful heat


Sun.. Flower..
To fate we cower
And never will reach
Not in this hour


Sun.. Flower..
To fate we cower
And never will reach
Not in this hour


You are sunshine
Filling my soul
Giving me light
On this grassy knoll
So here we sit
Too far away
Two spirits lit
Without a way


Sun.. Flower..
To fate we cower
And never will reach
Not in this hour


Sun.. Flower..
To fate we cower
And never will reach
Not in this hour


For shadows beseech
They tear and they leech
And I am only a flower

I am only a flower.


Sun.. Flower..
To fate we cower
And never will reach
Not in this hour
