Wildflower Skylark Cover

A beautiful love song.. from a one-hit wonder..
The story goes that this demo was found in a record exec's wastebasket. The person who found it gave it to another exec, who said, "we have a hit here"... And the brief but illustrious career of Skylark was launched..

@BalladTimes says: In 1972 in Victoria, Canada, a rookie policeman wrote a poem for his girlfriend while driving home in his police car. Dave "the Cop" Richardson gave the poem to his friend David Foster, a young aspiring young musician looking for material for his new band, SKYLARK. Foster passed it along to Skylark guitarist Doug Edwards who set it to music. It was the first song Edwards had ever composed.
