(duet with June Carter) [Johnny Cash:] I have picked wild roses Far into september But I had no one to give the flowers to I needed a celebration A September coronation And I admitted to myself I needed you [June Carter:] I've watched the gentle winds change The colors shades of meadows Ive seen the dew on flowers that had no name But I let my vase stay empty like my lonely empty heart Picking flowers for yourself is not the same [Chorus:] [Both:] Don't you think its come our time to be together Lets gather up our scattered words of love and make them rhyme [Johnny:] Let's go pick some flowers and fill our empty vases [Both:] Don't you think its come out time [Johnny:] Would you take this small bouquet that leaves a fragrance on my fingers And a feeling that your love is close at hand [June:] Thank you for the flowers, now lets walk through the meadows Through the brook where our demands caress the sand [Chorus]
