From the albums UNBORN CHILD (1974) and LIFT UP YOUR VOICES AND SING, VOL 3 (1997)
Windflowers, my father told me not to go near them, he feared them always,
Said they carried him away
Windflowers, I couldn't wait to touch them, to smell them, I held them closely
Now I cannot break away
Their sweet bouquet disappears like a vapor in the desert Take a warning, son
Windflowers, their beauty captures every young dreamer who lingers near them
Ancient windflowers, I love you
