Famous Flower of Manhattan - The Avett Brothers[00:00:00]

Written by： Robert William Crawford/Scott Yancey Avett/Timothy Seth Avett[00:00:09]

I found a flower in a field[00:00:19]

A field of cars and people rows of concrete paint and steel[00:00:24]

Manhattan is where it grew[00:00:29]

And I thought to cut it from its stem[00:00:38]

And take it from the cracks[00:00:43]

Between bricks that it lay in[00:00:45]

And save it from city strife[00:00:47]

Away from the city life[00:00:57]

Then someone they whispered in my ear[00:01:06]

A county girl can't be made out of anybody here[00:01:11]

Don't touch it it loves you not[00:01:15]

Don't touch it it loves you not[00:01:25]

Cause blue birds don't fly without their wings[00:01:53]

And when we put them in a cage[00:01:57]

The world can't hear them sing[00:01:59]

So selfish when greed sets in[00:02:02]

Possession the king of sin[00:02:11]

And people don't ever let you down[00:02:20]

Forever find a way to kill whatever love they've found[00:02:25]

A heart beat and I want it too[00:02:30]

Manhattan is where she grew[00:02:39]

So I left and I let the flower be[00:03:15]

And yesterday saw the flower on cable TV[00:03:20]

Much prettier than here with me[00:03:25]

For all of the world to see[00:03:34]

Much prettier than here with me[00:03:43]
