Little Flower - Peter Bradley Adams, Alias Chamber Ensemble

Go to sleep little flower

Leave your troubles for the night

Hang your head in the moonlight

And wait til morning comes to shine

You’ll rise in the wake of the winter

When April calls you from the ground

You’ll laugh as the rain starts to whisper

And hold your head up to the clouds

I won’t walk beside you

I won’t call your name

But I’ll hold your heart from a distance

As all your petals fall away

Now you taste the warmth of the summer

As the pastures settle into gold

And in the air a fragrance is falling

You’ve known so many times before

I won’t walk beside you

I won’t take you home

But I’ll hold your heart from a distance

As all your blossoms come and go

Go to sleep little flower

And all your dreams will come to pass

Don’t cry for the change of the season

This time was never meant to last

And when you wake all alone in the darkness

As the autumn winds are blowing cold

You might hear a voice in the distance

A love that never let you go

You might hear a voice in the distance

A love that never let you go
