about

Written in 2015 as a lullaby for our Canadian granddaughter, Olwen. Her namesake, the legendary princess Olwen of The Mabinogion, was said to be so beautiful that flowers would spring up in in her footsteps wherever she walked.

lyrics

Snowdrops in the winter, Speedwell in the spring
Daisies in the meadow where the skylark loves to sing
Anemones in the forest, white as driven snow
She’ll leave a trail of flowers everywhere she goes

Mouse-ear on the hillside, Campion in the hedge;
Lilies in the valley and buttercups by the sedge;
Sorrel in the oakwood white as driven snow:
She'll leave a trail of flowers everywhere she goes.

Everywhere she goes,
Everywhere she goes:
Pretty flowers in her footsteps
Everywhere she goes.

Some day when she's grown up she may fall in love
And fields of pretty flowers won't be all she's dreamin' of;
And if she goes a-wanderin o'er mountains high and low
There'll be flowers in every valley from Caerdydd to Llandudno

Everywhere she goes,
Everywhere she goes:
Pretty flowers in her footsteps
Everywhere she goes
