Flower Child

On the fifth day of May
She was breaking away
When the moon came and sat on your shoulder
She was still young and not yet highly strung
Which you need to be when you get older
George was the street
When you first faced defeat
You put money on the colour of her sky
Well the colour of her voice
Left you there with no choice
But to drink the Liffey dry

The seeds that you sow
You want to watch them growin'
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
There's fire on fire
When lovers conspire
To either a duet or duel
When it's fire on fire
And the flames just get higher
The harder you work to put them out
Well, you know that you're similar
Sugar and weed killer
In a boat heading north facing south

The seeds that you sow
You want to watch them growin'
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart

Wild

What's on your breath
Is it fear of death
That makes such a man promiscuous
Your mouth was dry
Like when you're about to lie
And her lips are so luscious
You've seen it before
You're hurled at her door
Like a dog when she needed a man
Now she aches and she breaks
And she takes all the weight
Of your world, 'cause she almost can

The seeds that you sow
Well, you want to watch them growing
The wind, where will it blow
My flower child
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart

Wild

The sky was still gray
Up on Albion way
As the yellow hats took 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
