\\u201cThistle and Weeds\\u201d Lyrics

\\n

\\n

Spare me your judgments and spare me your dreams

\\n

\\u2018Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams

\\n

I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind

\\n

\\n

Alone in the wind and the rain you left me

\\n

It\\u2019s getting dark, darling, too dark to see

\\n

And I\\u2019m on my knees and your faith in shreds it seems

\\n

\\n

Corrupted by the simple sniff of riches blown

\\n

I know you have felt much more love than you\\u2019ve shown

\\n

I\\u2019m on my knees and the water creeps to my chest

\\n

\\n

But plant your hope with good seeds

\\n

Don\\u2019t cover yourself with thistle and weeds

\\n

Rain down, rain down on me

\\n

\\n

Look over your hills and be still

\\n

The sky above us shoots to kill

\\n

Rain down, rain down on me

\\n

\\n

I will hold on, I will hold on hope

\\n

\\n

I begged you to hear me, there\\u2019s more than flesh and bones

\\n

Let the dead bury the dead

\\n

They will come out in droves

\\n

But take the spade from my hand, and fill in the holes you\\u2019ve made

\\n

\\n

Plant your hope with good seeds

\\n

Don\\u2019t cover yourself with thistle and weeds

\\n

Rain down, rain down on me
