Flower In Your Hair by Dale Eckard

Written and produced by Ronald Allen Bell and G-Dawg Trading~  [Verse 1] We’re barefoot on the kitchen tile Burnt toast Coffee You half-smile Radio hums some distant rhyme Your eyeliner’s crooked Still divine   If I put a flower in your hair Kiss your lips and then declare To the world that you are mine That I’ll keep you for all-time   Would you be just so elated Think “he and I Yes We might make it” Or would you turn away and run Turn red Be shocked Gasp Come undone   [Chorus] Would you laugh into my collar Spill your secrets in my ear Say “don’t you ever Ever leave me” Make the whole room disappear If I put a flower in your hair Let the daylight blur and bend Would you stay and spin beside me Till this crooked world all ends   [Verse 2] Ashtray full of half-spent plans Your name traced in the fog on glass You say love’s a crowded train Too many hearts Not enough tracks   But I see futures in your ringless hand Tiny rings of sunlight on the pan I could paint you in my favorite shade Hang you in the hallway of my days   [Chorus] Would you laugh into my collar Spill your secrets in my ear Say “don’t you ever Ever leave me” Make the whole room disappear If I put a flower in your hair Let the daylight blur and bend Would you stay and spin beside me Till this crooked world all ends   [Bridge] Maybe it’s foolish Maybe it’s brave (oh) To write our names in the wet cement But I’d trace every letter Every mistake If you meant every moment you spent   [Chorus] Would you laugh into my collar Spill your secrets in my ear Say “don’t you ever Ever leave me” Make the whole room disappear If I put a flower in your hair Let the daylight blur and bend Would you stay and spin beside me Till this crooked world all ends
