Thistle & Weeds

1. Spare me your judgments and spare me your dreams

'Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams

I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind

2. Alone in the wind and the rain you left me

It's getting dark darling, too dark to see

And I'm on my knees and your faith in shreds, it seems

3. Corrupted by the simple sniff of riches blown

I know you have felt much more love than you've shown

And I'm on my knees and the water creeps to my chest

Dm

But plant your hope with good seeds

Dm

Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds

Rain down, rain down on me

Dm

Look over your hills and be still

Dm

The sky above us shoots to kill

Rain down, rain down on me

Dm Dsus2 Dsus4 Dm

Dm Dsus2 Dsus4 Dm

But I will hold on, I will hold on hope

Oh, I will hold on, I will hold on hope

Oh, I will hold on, I will hold on hope

I will hold on, I will hold on hope

I will hold on, I will hold on

Dm Dsus2 Dsus4 Dm

4. I begged you to hear me, there's more than flesh and bones

Let the dead bury the dead, they will come out in droves

But take the spade from my hands and fill in the holes you've made

Dm

But plant your hope with good seeds

Dm

Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds

Rain down, rain down on me
