Earl Carter - A Horse with No Name (My Paradise, 2007)


America - A Horse with No Name (1971)

Writer : Dewey Bunnell

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

I saw her sitting in the rain
Raindrops falling on her
She didn't seem to care
She sat there and smiled at me

Then I knew
(I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She could make me happy
(Happy, happy)
She could make me very happy

Flowers in her hair
(In her hair)
Flowers everywhere
(Everywhere)

I love the flower girl
(I love the flower girl)
Oh, I don't know just why, she simply caught my eye
I love the flower girl
(I love the flower girl)
She seemed so sweet and kind, she crept into my mind
(To my mind, to my mind)

I knew I had to say hello
(Hello, hello)
She smiled up at me
Then she took my hand
And we walked through the park alone

And I knew
(I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She had made me happy
(Happy, happy)
(She had made me very happy)

Flowers in her hair
(In her hair)
Flowers everywhere
(Everywhere)

I love the flower girl
(I love the flower girl)
Oh, I don't know just why, she simply caught my eye
I love the flower girl
(I love the flower girl)
She seemed so sweet and kind, she crept into my mind
(To my mind, to my mind)

Suddenly, the sun broke through
(See the sun)
I turned around she was gone
(Where did she go?)
All I had left was one little flower in my hand

But I knew
(I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She had made me happy
(Happy, happy)
(She had made me very happy)

Flowers in her hair
(In her hair)
Flowers everywhere
(Everywhere)

I love the flower girl
(I love the flower girl)
Was she reality or just a dream to me?
I love the flower girl
(I love the flower girl)
Her love showed me the way to find a sunny day
(Sunny day)
(Sunny day, sunny day)

I love the flower girl
(I love the flower girl)
Was she reality or just a dream to me?
I love the flower girl
(I love the flower girl)
