And when heart is open

And when heart is open

You will change just like a flower slowly openin'

And when heart is open

You will change just like a flower slowly openin'

When there's no comin'

And there's no goin'

And when heart is open

You will meet your lover

You will tarry

You will tarry

With your lover?

And when heart is open

You will meet your lover

When there's no comin'

And there's no goin'

Oh, hand me down my old great coat

Oh, hand me down my old great coat

I believe I'll go walkin' in the woods

Oh. my darlin'.

Oh, hand me down my big boots.

Oh, hand me down my big boots

I believe I'll go walkin' in the woods

Oh, my darlin'

And she moves by the waterfall

When she moves

She moves just like a deer

Across the meadow

And when heart is open

You will change just like a flower slowly openin'

When there's no comin'

And there's no goin '

You will tarry

With your lover

When heart is open

You will meet your lover

Oh, hand me down my great coat

Oh, hand me down my great coat

I believe I'll go walkin' in the woods

Oh, my darlin'.

Oh, hand me down my big boots

Oh, hand me down my big boots.

I believe I'll go walkin' in the woods

Oh, my darlin'.

Oh, when she moves,

She moves like a deer across the meadow.

When heart is open

You will change just like a flower slowly openin'

You will change just like a flower slowly openin'

You will change just like a flower slowly openin'

When there's no comin'

When there's no comin'

And there's no goin'

You will meet

You will meet your lover

When there's no comin'

And there's no goin'

You will meet

You will meet your lover
