lyrics

Walkin through the fields of yellow I stumbled upon
One lonely flower, her petals were facing the sun
She grew up so tall, nothing could make that thing fall
Till someone came along and said, I want that one in my bed
And took her home

Ooh
Ooh

Dip my feet into the cool blue water by the bridge
I like the sound of it rushing around, pooling in the ditch
But someone wanted her all to themselves so they dried up the lake
Some people don’t realize what they’re doing, until it’s too late

Ooh
Ooh

Run my fingers down the bark of an oak in the yard
Watching the branches sway in the wind, when life gets hard
But they didn’t want her to live past her prime, so they cut her down like the cherry and pine
Put some seeds in the space but there’s nothing that can replace, the damage done

Ooh
Ooh

Sweet little honey bee buzzing around, takes only what she needs without a sound
Butterflies kissing my hot freckled skin, these tender moments seem to be wearing thin
Red tails flying so high up above, can we get back to the way that it was
The way that it was

Ooh
Ooh

This album is an old soul that has come to us from the past in some sort of Mandela effect time bend. I think it has already existed for many years and it inspired Elvis and Johnny Cash to make music how they did. It is sonically perfect. EJ
