Straw-Flower Me lyrics

Song information

Artist: Joni Mitchell
Album: Unreleased On Record

Lyrics

Look at me. won't you tell me
What you see behind the tinsel
Flower lady that you made
Me feel I must be
Don't you know even tinsel flowers
Grow uneasy shining all the time
Sometimes they find they can't even glow
Could you love a blue straw-flower
With no mystic magic power?
Would you miss the glitter
Of your fantasy?
You know she isn't really me, baby
Just to please you maybe
I can be a silver rose, but
Don't you know it's only straw-flower me?
Could you love a blue straw-flower
With no mystic magic power?
Would you miss the glitter
Of your fantasy?
You know she isn't really me, baby
Baby, baby
