| [00:15.43] |
I came along to find a little peace of mind |
| [00:18.64] |
neglectin' all my duties, steppin' off that straightened lin |
| [00:22.15] |
now I just sit by my front door filled with indolence and sound |
| [00:25.48] |
it's like I'm watchin' the weeds grow on my brow |
| [00:29.23] |
and I had a pure potential in a soiled white shirt |
| [00:33.35] |
with love enough to kill me, |
| [00:35.01] |
but was unsure of its worth |
| [00:36.60] |
and though the night is sweetened by some rising of the moon |
| [00:40.18] |
I've lived enough to know the battle's never through |
| [00:44.24] |
you pass something down, |
| [00:46.01] |
no matter where or how |
| [00:47.55] |
will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows |
| [00:51.60] |
there's a crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue |
| [00:54.81] |
will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done |
| [01:13.77] |
remember you traveled through the desert, |
| [01:15.74] |
you traveled to the sea |
| [01:17.45] |
lookin' out on some horizon, |
| [01:19.43] |
asking what you mean to me |
| [01:21.15] |
and we all hang around with a free or toiled mind |
| [01:24.73] |
while all of our branches entwine |
| [01:28.29] |
and as I watch the brick erode from day to day |
| [01:32.27] |
the leaves change their colors and the loft fills with hay |
| [01:35.86] |
as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest |
| [01:39.67] |
the blood beneath boils with unrest |
| [01:43.81] |
you pass something down, no matter where or how |
| [01:47.16] |
will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows |
| [01:51.58] |
there's a crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue |
| [01:54.45] |
will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done |
| [02:30.38] |
blown about by the wind, |
| [02:32.10] |
a worthless little thing |
| [02:33.84] |
but the world can feel the changes of a butterfly's wing |
| [02:37.09] |
and that crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue |
| [02:40.65] |
will leave its weeds before your flowers yet have sprung |
