about

This song started out as a list of wildflowers I was researching for a stone carving.

It's still a list...set to music. Some of the flowers are just made up. There's no such thing as Creeping Skullcap.

lyrics

Little Petal

Boneset and Sneezeweed
You didn’t mean to hurt me
You were just a wildflower
Doll Eye, Seed Box
Thistle in the kisses
You were just a wildflower

I waded in knee-deep and dusty
I could not deny my desire for this weed
I waded in knee-deep and dusty
I could not deny my desire for one wildflower

Creeping Skullcap,
Goat’s Beard and Aster
You were just a wildflower
Cat’s Paw and Cudweed
Hardhank and Jumpseed
You were just a wildflower

Little petal, painted and dusty
I could not deny my desire for this weed
I waded in, knee-deep and dusty
I could not deny my desire
for one wildflower
