Artist/Band: Tom T. Hall
Lyrics for Song: Forbidden Flowers
Lyrics for Album: Ballad of Forty Dollars [Mercury] [1969]



(Tom T. Hall)



"Using ordinary words and the simple metaphor of flowers for lovers, this

song evokes powerful images of the many faces of temptation."



There are flowers in the cities

Some with color, some are pale

You may find them on the sidewalks

Some are wilted but still for sale.



You can pick forbidden flowers

There are ways and there are means

If you pick forbidden flowers

You may shatter someone's dream.



--- Instrumental ---



There are flowers in the country

Soft to touch and sweet to smell

There are dangers in the flowers

Pick them wisely know them well.



You can pick forbidden flowers

There are ways and there are means

If you pick forbidden flowers

You may shatter someone's dream.



You may shatter someone's dream...
