The Flower And The Young Man

C  G  F    C  G  Am   C


[Verse 2]
              G          F        C
Though winter snows fall deep and long
           G         F       C
The flower grows the while
          G         F       Am   C
The weary traveller passing by
             G       F
Feels warmer for her smile


[Instrumental]
Am   F   Am   F   Am   F   Am   C


[Verse 3]
         G       F      C
Sunshine and the tender flower
              G           F       C
Both melt the young man's heart
           G       F         Am     C
But he who lingers waits his turn
              G        F       C
Must learn to play his part


[Verse 4]
               G       F          C
Through summer days of warmth and love
              G         F        C
The young man tends his flower
            G        F       Am        C
But blinded by their colours bright
              G       F
Heeds not the passing hour


[Instrumental]
Am   F   Am   F   Am   F   Am   C


[Verse 5]
           G           F            C
The autumn leaves once clothed with gold
               G     F      C
Now frayed and sadly worn
           G      F         Am     C
The flower bids a chill farewell
                G        F
The young man's heart is torn


[Verse 6]
N.C.
While seasons change in timely way
The salt sea ever flows
Where open moors lie cold and bleak
A single flower grows
