Strawflower Me - Joni Mitchell

Look at me.

wont you tell me What you see behind the tinsel

Flower lady that you made

Me feel I must be.

Dont you know even tinsel flowers

Grow uneasy shining all the time.

Sometimes they find they cant even glow.

Could you love a blue straw-flower

With no mystic magic power?

Would you miss the glitter

Of your fantasy?

You know she isnt really me, baby.

Just to please you maybe

I can be a silver rose, but

Dont you know its only straw-flower me?

Could you love a blue straw-flower

With no mystic magic power?

Would you miss the glitter

Of your fantasy?

You know she isnt really me, baby,

Baby, baby.
