Nature Song for the Time Being

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
