"Using ordinary words and the simple metaphor of flowers for lovers, this
song evokes powerful images of the many faces of temptation."

There are flowers in the cities
Some with color, some are pale
You may find them on the sidewalks
Some are wilted but still for sale.

You can pick forbidden flowers
There are ways and there are means
If you pick forbidden flowers
You may shatter someone's dream.

--- Instrumental ---

There are flowers in the country
Soft to touch and sweet to smell
There are dangers in the flowers
Pick them wisely know them well.

You can pick forbidden flowers
There are ways and there are means
If you pick forbidden flowers
You may shatter someone's dream.

You may shatter someone's dream...
