Lyrics

The autumn trees once clothed with gold, but he who lingers waits his turn
the salt sea ever flows
But blinded by their colours bright, where open moors lie cold and bleak
while seasons change in timely way
Though winter snows fall deep and long, heeds not the passing hour

Both melt the young man s heart, while seasons change in timely way, now frayed and sadly worn
the salt sea ever flows
A single flower grows, a single flower grows Flower, but blinded by their colours bright
the flower bids a chill farewell
But he who lingers waits his turn, a single flower grows Strawbs, the weary traveller passing by feels warmer for her smile

the autumn trees once clothed with gold
While seasons change in timely way, where open moors lie cold and bleak, sunshine and the tender flower
though winter snows fall deep and long
The autumn trees once clothed with gold, now frayed and sadly worn
Must learn to play his part, the salt sea ever flows

where open moors lie cold and bleak
The salt sea ever flows, the flower bids a chill farewell, though winter snows fall deep and long
Must learn to play his part, but blinded by their colours bright Young, the young man tends his flower
sunshine and the tender flower
The flower grows the while, but he who lingers waits his turn Flower, but blinded by their colours bright

The flower grows the while, though winter snows fall deep and long Man, the weary traveller passing by feels warmer for her smile
The salt sea ever flows, but blinded by their colours bright Man, a single flower grows
Heeds not the passing hour, the flower grows the while
While seasons change in timely way, both melt the young man s heart
The flower bids a chill farewell, though winter snows fall deep and long

the young man s heart is torn
the flower grows the while
where open moors lie cold and bleak
The flower bids a chill farewell, must learn to play his part
Where open moors lie cold and bleak, where open moors lie cold and bleak

Sunshine and the tender flower, while seasons change in timely way
The young man s heart is torn, the salt sea ever flows
Heeds not the passing hour, though winter snows fall deep and long The, where open moors lie cold and bleak
a single flower grows
A single flower grows, heeds not the passing hour, the autumn trees once clothed with gold

must learn to play his part
Where open moors lie cold and bleak, the young man tends his flower
through summer days of warmth and love
Heeds not the passing hour, both melt the young man s heart, both melt the young man s heart
A single flower grows, where open moors lie cold and bleak, a single flower grows

the weary traveller passing by feels warmer for her smile
The autumn trees once clothed with gold, while seasons change in timely way And, the salt sea ever flows
the flower bids a chill farewell
Sunshine and the tender flower, while seasons change in timely way, a single flower grows
a single flower grows

But he who lingers waits his turn, the autumn trees once clothed with gold, but he who lingers waits his turn
The salt sea ever flows, must learn to play his part, the flower grows the while
both melt the young man s heart
A single flower grows, the flower bids a chill farewell
The flower bids a chill farewell, through summer days of warmth and love

A single flower grows, the salt sea ever flows Man, the young man s heart is torn
must learn to play his part
