Your Eyes Will Taste of the Flowers

    C       G              C
I'm leaving on the morning railroad
       C         G               C
In the drizzling darkness of the rain,
      Am                       F
And I hear, with every wheel a-turning,
G                       C
Secret sounding of your name.


         F         G            C
And your eyes will taste of the flowers,
     F    G              C
Your lips of the morning dew.
         F         G            C      Am
And your hair will taste of the meadow,
Dm          G                   C
And all the world will taste of you.

Oh, your face is in the morning sunrise.
Your shadow is falling with the dawn.
Your body is in the rolling waters.
With everyday, a memory is reborn.

Your eyes will taste of the flowers,
Your lips of the morning dew.
And your hair will taste of the meadow,
And all the world will taste of you.

I can't tell the reason why I'm leaving.
I don't know just what I'm heading for.
I just know with every mile I wander,
I'm needing you another mile more.

And your eyes will taste of the flowers,
Your lips of the morning dew.
And your hair will taste of the meadow,
And all the world will taste of you.

Oh, if you never get my letter,
You know your memory will ring
With every word that I am speaking,
With every song that I sing.

And your eyes will taste of the flowers,
Your lips of the morning dew.
And your hair will taste of the meadow,
And all the world will taste of you.

I'll carry your picture in my pocket
When times are good or times are bad,
And if I chance to meet another,
It won't take away the good times that we had.

Your eyes will taste of the flowers,
Your lips of the morning dew.
And your hair will taste of the meadow,
And all the world will taste of you.
Singing all the world will taste of you.

(Words and music by Phil Ochs, 1964)
