Flower Child Lyrics - Past Forward - Thomas Helmig

You take that perfect seed 

You plant that love so deep 

You fold your hands and pray for rain 

Daddy liked to drink and smoke 

Mama thought your dreams were a joke 

You grew up dark in a garden of pain 

Like the sun and the rain forgot your name 

When nobody waters a flower child 

You get a scared little girl with a broken heart 

Growing wild I think Iâ??m in love 

Iâ??ve got the water for my flower child 

My love can fill this pail 

And bring you back to health 

And make those petals want to stay 

Youâ??ve gone from man to man to man 

But still you can not stand 

Iâ??ve got the sun right in my hands 

Canâ??t you see that I will understand? 

When nobody waters a flower child 

You get a scared little girl with a broken heart 

Growing wild I think Iâ??m in love 

Oh my flower child I think Iâ??m in love 

Iâ??ve got the water for my flower child 

Has the light gotten through to you? 

Donâ??t be afraid to say you feel it too 

I know inside you thereâ??s a sweet perfume
