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
