Thomas Helmig Flower Child Lyrics

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 I’m in love

I’ve got the water for my flower child

My love can fill this pail

And bring you back to health

And make those petals wanna stay You’ve gone from man to man to man

But still you can not stand

I’ve got the sun right in my hands

Can’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 I’m in love

Oh my flower child I think I’m in love

I’ve got the water for my flower child

Has the light gotten through to you?

Don’t be afraid to say you feel it too

I know inside you there’s a sweet perfume
