Forbidden Flowers - Tom T. Hall

There are flowers in the cities some with color some are pale

You may find them on the sidewalks

Some are wilted but still for sale

You can pick forbidden flowers

There are ways and there are means

If you pick forbidden flowers you may shatter someone’s dream

There are flowers in the country soft to touch and sweet to smell

There are dangers in the flowers pick them wisely know them well

You can pick forbidden flowers

You may shatter someone’s dream
