《Famous Flower of Manhattan》歌词

[00:00:00] Famous Flower of Manhattan - The Avett Brothers

[00:00:09] Written by： Robert William Crawford/Scott Yancey Avett/Timothy Seth Avett

[00:00:19] I found a flower in a field

[00:00:24] A field of cars and people rows of concrete paint and steel

[00:00:29] Manhattan is where it grew

[00:00:38] And I thought to cut it from its stem

[00:00:43] And take it from the cracks

[00:00:45] Between bricks that it lay in

[00:00:47] And save it from city strife

[00:00:57] Away from the city life

[00:01:06] Then someone they whispered in my ear

[00:01:11] A county girl can't be made out of anybody here

[00:01:15] Don't touch it it loves you not

[00:01:25] Don't touch it it loves you not

[00:01:53] Cause blue birds don't fly without their wings

[00:01:57] And when we put them in a cage

[00:01:59] The world can't hear them sing

[00:02:02] So selfish when greed sets in

[00:02:11] Possession the king of sin

[00:02:20] And people don't ever let you down

[00:02:25] Forever find a way to kill whatever love they've found

[00:02:30] A heart beat and I want it too

[00:02:39] Manhattan is where she grew

[00:03:15] So I left and I let the flower be

[00:03:20] And yesterday saw the flower on cable TV

[00:03:25] Much prettier than here with me

[00:03:34] For all of the world to see

[00:03:43] Much prettier than here with me
