Lyrics:

When I came along to find
A little peace of mind
Neglectin' all my duties
Steppin' off that straightened line
Now I just sit by my front door
Filled with indolence and sound
It's like I'm watchin' the weeds grow on my brow

And I had a pure (Pure!)
Potential in 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
Will there be weeds or wildflowers
Affixed upon your bows?
And there's a crooked burning cigarette
Rollin' on your tongue
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done?

Remember you traveled through the desert
You traveled to the sea
Lookin' out on some horizon
Asking what you mean to me
And we all hang around
With a free or toiled mind
While all of our branches entwine

And as I watch the brick
Erode from day to day
The leaves change their colors
And the loft fills with hay
As a blade of sunshine
Cuts across my chest
The blood beneath boils with unrest

You pass something down
No matter where or how
Will there be weeds or wildflowers
Affixed upon your bows?
And there's a crooked burning cigarette
Rollin' on your tongue
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done?

Blown about by the wind
A worthless little thing
But the world can feel the changes
Of a butterfly's wing
And so that crooked burning cigarette
Rollin' on your tongue
Will leave its weeds before your flowers yet have sprung?

Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done?
