[Johnny cash]

I have picked wild roses

Far into september

But I had no one to give the flowers to

I needed a celebration

A september coronation

And I admitted to myself I needed you

[June carter]

I've watched the gentle winds change

The colors shades of meadows

Ive seen the dew on flowers that had no name

But I let my vase stay empty like my lonely empty heart

Picking flowers for yourself is not the same

[Chorus]

[Both]

Don't you think its come our time to be together

Lets gather up our scattered words of love and make them rhyme

[Johnny] let's go pick some flowers and fill our empty vases

[Both] don't you think its come out time

[Johnny]

Would you take this small bouquet that leaves a fragrance on my fingers

And a feeling that your love is close at hand

[June] thank you for the flowers, now lets walk through the meadows

Through the brook where our demands caress the sand

[Chorus]
