lyrics

Thistle, cuckoo flower, dandelion
Blooming in the shoulder
Will you still be there when I'm older
Will you be on my horizon
Thistle, cuckoo flower, dandelion

Thistle, cuckoo flower, dandelion
Can't you see how much I'm trying
But if they don't understand
Well what is there to stand on
Thistle, cuckoo flower, dandelion

Thistle, cuckoo flower, dandelion
Please promise to keep growing
While the western winds are blowing
And if the sun forgets to shine
Thistle, cuckoo flower, dandelion
