My grandfather picks wildflowers on top of the hill upon mountainside
And he knows their names by their colour, shape and their size
Up over the ridge and through the valleys picking flowers by the riverside
My grandfather he picks shooting star and prairie smoke where lily-of-the-
valley grows. Purslane and Queen Annes beauty, bathing in the oft flow.
Up over the ridge and through the valleys to find early ever lasting in the
light.
Oh, for true love. For true love, he said,
For true love you do the best that you can.
And she will always be there when you wake up. Ohh

My grandfather was a fisherman and no fish ever stood a chance
When he was standing on the riverbed with a fistful of cutthroat on the sand
My grandfather was a good man and for a good life he gave thanks
Picking flowers for his true love. For Queen Anne on the riverbank

My grandfather taught me there, if you show true love, that you can take
*
care of her and when you wake up, she will always be there by your side.
My grandfather picks wildflowers, on top of the hill upon mountain side.
And he writes the names in the back of his Rocky Mountain Wildflowers Field
Guide.
Up over the ridge and through the valleys, to find early everlasting in the
light. (Up over the ridge and through the valleys)
Picking flowers by the riverside.(Up over the ridge and through the valleys)
To find true love everlasting in the light.
Oh, for true love. For true love, he said
For true love you do everything you can
And she will always be there when you wake up.
My grandfather taught me, that picking flowers is worthwhile
When youre doing it for your true love, and you see her smile.
Its like big skies, shooting stars, and where we are
Where we grows, the roots are never ending light
High up on the mountain (repeat and fade out).
Hope its good! Comments? Suggestions?
