Paula Cole - Wildflower Lyrics

Paula Cole Lyrics

"Wildflower"

I wanted to hold her hand
She was too embarrassed
I didn't like the boys
I didn't like most men
They did all the bad things
And she could outrun all of them
She outran all of them

So free
So fast
So beautiful
So free
So fast
So beautiful

I'm wild
I'm a wildflower
I'm wild
I'm a wildflower

Blossoming gently
I showed her where
I showed her slow
I led her to the rock ledge
On a slab of granite knowledge
Too young to know the sacrilege

We laid down
We laid down
We laid down
We laid down
We laid down
We laid down

I'm wild
I'm a wildflower
I'm wild
I'm a wildflower

There were plenty of men to admire
Fools came and went
The gentlemen:
My great loves
Rested in my arms
I never found a home with my Carmen
Though I longed
And I marched
"Make up your fucking mind!"
They barked
Feeling counterfeit
Never fitting in
Between two worlds
Between two generations
They're so young
So fluid
My secrets now, they just feel
They just feel foolish
Release me
This stoic oak tree
Is coming down, down, down

I'm wild
I'm a wildflower
I'm wild
I'm a wildflower
I'm wild
I'm a wildflower
I'm wild
I'm wild
