Lyrics Famous Flower of Manhattan - The Avett Brothers
I
found
a
flower
in
a
field
A
field
of
cars
and
people,
Rows
of
concrete,
paint,
and
steel
Manhattan
is
where
it
grew
And
I
thought,
to
cut
it
from
its
stem
And
take
it
from
the
cracks
Between
bricks
that
it
lay
in
And
save
it
from
city
strife
Away
from
the
city
life
Then
someone,
they
whispered
in
my
ear
A
county
girl
can′t
be
made
out
of
anybody
here
Don't
touch
it,
it
loves
you
not
Don′t
touch
it,
it
loves
you
not
Cause
blue
birds,
Don't
fly
without
their
wings
And
when
we
put
them
in
a
cage
The
world
can't
hear
them
sing
So
selfish
when
greed
sets
in
Possession,
the
king
of
sin
And
people
don′t
ever
let
you
down
Forever
find
a
way
to
kill
whatever
love
they′ve
found
A
heart
beat
and
I
want
it
too
Manhattan
is
where
she
grew
So
I
left
and
I
let
the
flower
be
And
yesterday
saw
the
flower
on
cable
TV
Much
prettier
than
here
with
me
For
all
of
the
world
to
see
Much
prettier
than
here
with
me
