The Panhandlers
Cactus Flower
[Verse 1]
Tell me how the likes of you could bloom in such a place?
I’m in awe of your wonder, my living proof of grace
You don’t demand half the care that all the others do
Cactus flower, I never seen another thing like you

[Chorus]
You’re a beauty, cactus flower
Drop of rain in the driest hour
You’re a gem to behold, my desert rose
Sweeter than the fruit atop of a prickly pear
Cactus flower I’ll carry your memory anywhere

[Verse 2]
She’s a stubborn sunburnt soul swayin’ in the summer wind
Long and lean, and somewhat green, barefoot on the sunburnt sand
She bathes on sunshine, dances beneath the desert moon
Cactus flower, I’m just as crazy for you

[Chorus]
You’re a beauty, cactus flower
Drop of rain in the driest hour
You’re a gem to behold, my desert rose
Sweeter than the fruit atop of a prickly pear
Cactus flower, I’ll follow your beauty anywhere
[Outro]
Cactus flower, I’d follow your beauty anywhere
