Flower In The Desert

Jim & Jessie McReynolds



Sometimes I feel like a flower in the desert

Blooming alone like a motherless child

So far away in a prison of freedom

The only thing living for hundreds of miles



I gave you all of the love in my heart

Just like a bouquet for your beautiful hand

And you stayed till its roots had grown deep as the ocean

And left it alone in a cold barren land



I don’t think again I will find room or reason

To thirst for the water or reach for the sky

I wish I was just a flower in the desert

That never knowed the meaning of hello or goodbye



I nurtured and tended the faith I had in you

But the seeds of destruction were there from the start

Was I born to bloom and waste my sweet fragrance

On the desolate plain of your cold cold heart



Chorus x 2

That never knowed the meaning of hello or goodbye
