Columbine — текст песни (Townes Van Zandt)

By townes van zandt



Tossin hair a-ravin

Eyes of flashin blue

All the livin that youre savin

Wont buy you dreams for you





Cut yourself a columbine

Tear it from the stem

Now breathe upon the petals fine

And throw them to the wind





Watch the petals dancin

See them twirl and sing

All your pride and prancin

How much does it mean?





Watch the petals start to fly

And then come falling down

Hear the wind begin to cry

As she sees some touch the ground





Ah, lady, like the flower fair

Some day youll have to fall

And you can find me standin there

To catch you if you crawl





Tossin hair a-ravin

Eyes of flashin blue

All the livin that youre savin

Wont buy you dreams for you
