Disclaimer: These lyrics are assuredly wrong in certain places Intro: x2 verse 1: Well I came alone to find a little piece of mind Neglected all my duties stepping off that straightened line Now I just sit at my front door filled with inner lakes and sounds It's like I'm watching the weeds grow on my brow And I had pure potential and a soiled white shirt With love enough to kill me but was unsure of its worth And though the night is sweetened by some rising of the moon I've lived enough to know the battle's never through You pass something down, no matter where or how Well there'll be weeds or wildflowers fixed upon your brow And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done x2 verse 2: Whenever you travel to the desert or travel to the sea Looking out on the horizon asking what you made of me And as we all hang around with our freedom of mind As all of our branches entwine And as I watch the brick erode within a day The leaves changing colors and the barrowfuls of hay And as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest The blood beneath boils with unrest Chorus La La La La Laaa x2 La La La La Laaa x2 Pushed around by the wind and the worthless little thing But the world can feel the changes of a butterfly's wings And so that crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue Will leave be tweeds before your flowers when yet have sprung Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
