The Little Flower Girl Lyrics by Jethro Tull

The Little Flower Girl Lyrics

    Down at the church the flower girl sits. legs innocent, apart.
    I make the picture puzzle fit to start your heart.
    Painted sister stopped beside. a word upon her saintly lip.
    Perhaps admonishing the child inside the open slip.

    I don't know where she might go when she runs home at night.
    It's for the best: i wouldn't rest when i turned out the light.
    No little flower girl singing in my troubled dream----
    Just an old man's model in a pose from a magazine.

    I have touched that face a dozen times before. and i have let my pencil run.
    Laid down washes on a foreign shore, under a hot and foreign sun.
    My best sable brushes drift the soft inside of her arm.
    Her chin i tilt, her breasts i lift. i mean no harm.

    I close the door. she is no more until the next appointed hour.
    Northeastern light push back the night: painted promises in store.
    No little flower girl singing in my troubled dream----
    Just an old man's model in a pose from a magazine.

    Down at the church my flower girl sits. legs innocent, apart.
    I make the picture puzzle fit to start your heart.
    My golden sable brushes drift the soft inside of her arm.
    Her chin i tilt, her breasts i lift. i mean no harm.
    I mean no harm. i mean¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.
