What You Reap Is What You Sow Lyrics

Ewert & The Two Dragons What You Reap Is What You Sow

[Verse 1]
They say the youth is the time to sow
Don't they? Don't they?
Some say that one can't do it too slow
And mustn't sow to show, sow to show

[Pre-Chorus]
I was told to work hard, so I tried
I didn't know how hard would be enough
Harvest came, and then I realised
Instead of work, instead of work
I'd watched the moon wax and wane
I foretold a better life
I foretold a better life

[Chorus]
What you reap is what you sow
I'm asked how I didn't know
What you reap is what you sow
I'm asked how I didn't know

[Verse 2]
Later on it can be seen
What a man has sown, what seeds
Anyone who peaks at my field
Can see what a mess there is

[Chorus]
What you reap is what you sow
I'm asked how I didn't know
What you reap is what you sow
I'm asked how I didn't know

[Bridge]
Surprisingly all there is, nothing but
Weeds running wild on my fields

[Chorus]
What you reap is what you sow
I'm asked how I didn't know
What you reap is what you sow
I'm asked how I didn't know

[Chorus]
What you reap is what you sow
I'm asked how I didn't know
What you reap is what you sow
I'm asked how I didn't know

[Outro]
I'm asked how I didn't know
These seeds I have to sow my own
