folkwaller Lyr Req: Columbine (Townes Van Zandt) (15) RE: Lyrics please - 'Columbine' by Derek Brimstone 08 Aug 06


Columbine. The lyrics. Thanks to 'Brimmo'.

Tossing hair of raven
Eyes of flashing blue
All the living that your saving
Won't buy your dreams for you.

Cut yourself a Columbine
Tear it from the stem
Breath apon the petals fine
And throw' em to the wind.

Watch the petals dancing
See them whirl and spin
For all your pride and prancin'
Well how much will it bring.

Watch the petals start to fly
Then come tumbling down
Hear the wind begin to cry
As they tumble to the ground

Oh lady like the flower fair
Some day you'l have to call
And you will see me standing there
To catch as you fall

Repeat first verse.


Dereks words on 'Shuffleboat' are slightly different but these are the words he sent me. They apparantly came from an LP by Mike Chapman.
