And GI found, a flower in a field
AG field of cars and people rows of concrete paint and steel
ManChattan, is where it grGew
And GI thought, to cut it from its stem
And Gtake it from the cracks between bricks that it lay in
And Csave it, from city stGrife
ACway from the city liGfe
Then someone, they whispered in my ear
A county girl can't be made out of anybody here
Don’t touch it, it loves you not
Don’t touch it, it loves you not
Bridge
Because blue birds, don't fly without their wings
And when we put them in a cage the world can't hear them sing
So selfish, when greed sets in
Possession, the king of sin
And people, don't ever let you down
Forever find a way to kill whatever life they've found
A heartbeat, and I want it too
Manhattan, is where she grew
Bridge
So I left, and I let the flower be
And yesterday I saw the flower on cable TV
Much prettier, than here with me
For all of, the world to see
Much prettier than here with me
