lyrics

DANDELION BOUQUET (keating)

Might have been the first time
I ever walked home from school
With the older girl Karen
She was seven and so cool
Our mothers were waiting
At home for us
Cause this was the first time
They let us not take the bus

As we started walking
We came 'cross a field
Covered in yellow
That's when Karen kneeled
Down for the first stem
And there we would stay
For our mothers we'd pick them
A dandelion bouquet

Our dandelion bouquet
We'd pick for our mothers
Till the end of the day
We thought we'd pick
Just a few
But we stayed there for hours
Cause we'd never seen
Such beautiful flowers

As the sun dipped below us
Without a care
We heard our mothers screaming
Our names through the air
When they finally found us
They knelt down and cried
Tears of relief
They thought we had died

With smiles on our faces
And love in our eyes
We offered those flowers
That felt like a prize
But then Karens mother
Cursed them back to their seeds
Knocked them out of our hands
Said they were just weeds

Our dandelion bouquet
We picked for our mothers
Till the end of the day
We thought we'd pick just a few
But we stayed there for hours
We'd never seen
Such beautiful flowers
