The Blue Flower

Lyrics

[distant, dramatic church bell]
[Steel-string acoustic guitar fading in]
[Verse 1:]
Lost in wide open plains,
Do you yearn to roam?
How I wish you'd call this home,
In this land where dreams are sown.

[Chorus:]
Endless desert rivers,
Mountains high in your mind,
And the restless, wild wind,
Oh, blue flower, you're free to find.
[Verse 2]
Old saloons, so charming,
Pointing to the endless sky,
No need to reach so high,
For your happiness, my darling.

[Chorus]
Endless desert rivers,
Mountains high in your mind,
And the restless, wild wind,
Oh, blue flower, you're free to find.
[Verse 3]
The little dove softly said,
Fingers twirling in her hair,
Truth so bold, I shook my head,
Oh, how I shivered in the dusty air.

[Chorus, man and woman duett]
Endless desert rivers,
Mountains high in your mind,
And the restless, wild wind,
Oh, blue flower, you're free to find.
[Verse 3:]
Come, where cacti bloom,
And the rivers gently flow,
As the canyon's depths call low,
In the wilderness' untamed loom.

[Chorus:]
Endless desert rivers,
Mountains high in your mind,
And the restless, wild wind,
Oh, blue flower, you're free to find.
[Verse 4:]
You'll spin yarns and tall tales,
While I pick wildflowers,
Trying to forget our trails,
Beneath the vast, starlit hours.

[Verse 5:]
If you crave my tender kiss,
No one needs to know,
In this hidden, sweet abyss,
Where our love can freely grow.
