The Wild Petunia

I never expected you to come to Australia first Still with the appearance that I am familiar I must travel across the ocean back and forth And you? I wonder how could you come here? I saw you climb the fence in our hometown Up to my ears and blowing your horn Then you asked me if I was afraid of And I said: I like your beautiful song We used to play hide and seek in a woodpile I pretend that I don't know where you're hiding You can't wait to stick your head out of the pile You tell me you're right next to me with your song I see you in this foreign country unexpectedly Did you travel across the ocean to follow me We meet in these wild fields when melancholy The joy alike seeing relatives you bring to me I always feel the coldness of the world Many things are inconvenient to say publicly But my heart has been filled with your love When I need some real "friends" so eagerly We know "friendship" already too many The definition of them is confusing me The Illusory "friendship" is hard to rely on Only you, Wild Petunia, by thousands of miles You come here to stay with me
