Wildflowers

Couldn't find an actual video of Tom Petty singing this himself, but did find this collage of images on Youtube with the notation: Tribute to Phyllis, my mom who passed away when I was one.

Kind of a pretty song. Sue came home with the chord chart from her class. Didn't know the song, but it's okay.

Kind of an interesting look into a very private world--white people, white families, Catholics, lots of Catholics. I wonder if this is the world that so many pine for? A simpler time? The world these images portray, quite frankly, scare the bejesus out of me. I feel trapped when I see images like this. But obviously, for someone else, they are sweet and kind and probably a bit soulful.

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, find you a lover
Go away somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other
Who compares with you

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, go find a lover
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You deserve the deepest of cover
You belong in that home by and by

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and worry
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong somewhere you feel free

(Repeat Chorus)
