Cactus In A Coffee Can (Live) - Peter，Paul & Mary[00:00:00]

Written by：James Shamblin/Steve Seskin[00:00:02]

She had the window[00:00:16]

I had the aisle[00:00:18]

She looked twenty-five[00:00:19]

But she was shakin' like a child[00:00:20]

When we took off[00:00:23]

I looked over and clutched in her hands[00:00:27]

Was this cactus in a coffee can[00:00:29]

She was holdin' that thing like it was all that she had[00:00:33]

She smiled at me but I could tell she was sad[00:00:37]

Somewhere over denver I asked her name[00:00:48]

She said elena then told me she came from santa fe[00:00:51]

She ordered a drink and a wall came down[00:00:58]

She started talkin' and the pain poured out[00:01:02]

She told me a story I'll never forget[00:01:05]

She had me in tears[00:01:09]

When she looked at me and said[00:01:11]

My mama's first love was crack[00:01:13]

She made her livin' lyin' on her back[00:01:16]

She gave me away on the day that I was born[00:01:21]

She said I spent the last ten years trackin' her down[00:01:29]

You know it just don't seem fair that when I finally found[00:01:33]

She was almost gone[00:01:36]

We had two weeks together to laugh and to cry[00:01:39]

Two weeks to say hello and goodbye[00:01:43]

She gave me this cactus said it's kinda like me[00:01:47]

It'll hurt you to hold it but it blooms every spring[00:01:51]

She said I'm on my way back to new Mexico[00:02:01]

Was gonna scatter her ashes where the desert winds blow[00:02:05]

But I came up with a better plan[00:02:09]

I'm gonna keep 'em in the bottom of this coffee can[00:02:12]

My mama was a tortured soul[00:02:16]

But I still love her even though[00:02:19]

She gave me away on the day that I was born[00:02:24]

The plane touched down and we both got off[00:02:47]

I took her hand and said sorry for your loss[00:02:50]

She said thanks for listening for being here[00:02:53]

I've been wantin' to talk about her for so many years[00:02:57]

Now I'll probably never see elena again[00:03:01]

We met as strangers and parted as friends[00:03:04]

As we waved goodbye I was sure of one thing[00:03:08]

There'll be a flower on that cactus come next spring[00:03:11]
