I woke up the birds were singing My love I wished to see There she was on the edge of the bed She was waiting there for me And the light shone through my window It was gleaming through her blouse She laid down beside me We spent the day entranced Yarrow, yarrow, yarrow she said to me I am a wounded man, yarrow I'll take from thee The love we shared that morning I long for it today But I'm in Tuscaloosa I'm a million miles away The еvening's so hot and it’s cloudy It's thick with tomorrow's rain
I'm tired of thesе fools that surround me They're just looking for something to gain Yarrow, yarrow, yarrow she said to me I am a wounded man, yarrow I'll take from thee I looked there behind me To see what I could see There she was, my beloved She was coming after me For the flowers they'll all wither And the tall pines they will fall If ever I lose my love It'll be my downfall Yarrow, yarrow, yarrow she said to me I am a wounded man, yarrow I'll take from thee
