John Denver - Flowers Know My Name | Official Lyric Video
Verse 1
I walked the fence line early this morning
Dew on the grass, sunlight low
Every step felt strangely familiar
Like my feet already know

There’s a garden leaning toward the season
Wild and careless just the same
I swear the flowers turned to face me
Like they still remember my name

Pre-Chorus
No questions asked, no lines to cross
Nothing here keeps count of loss

Chorus
’Cause the flowers know my name
Don’t care how far I’ve been
They don’t ask me where I’ve gone
Or who I was back then
Yeah, the flowers know my name
Like I never left this place
Funny how the smallest things
Still recognize your face

Verse 2
I’ve chased the years through bigger towns
Wore my time like second skin
Learned how to leave without a warning
Learned how not to fit back in

But this porch still creaks the same way
That old screen door still complains
And the wind moves through the open fields
Like it’s softly calling out my name

Pre-Chorus
I lay my past down in the dirt
Let the quiet do its work

Chorus
’Cause the flowers know my name
They don’t measure time or miles
They bloom the same for everyone
With the same old patient smile
Yeah, the flowers know my name
And that’s all I need today
Some things never stop believing
You’ll find your way

Bridge
Maybe home ain’t made of words
Or stories you explain
Maybe it’s just being somewhere
That never asks you to change

Final Chorus
Yeah, the flowers know my name
In the morning open wide
Like they’ve been saving all this color
For the day I’d come back by
Yeah, the flowers know my name
No forgiveness, no refrain
They just bloom like I was always here
And love me just the same

Outro
I sit awhile, let the daylight stay
Feel the ground beneath my feet
If the flowers still remember me
Then maybe I remember me
