Janiva Magness Weeds Like Us
Today I passed a dreaming man
Dead asleep in a patch of grass
Empty bottle by his hand
Though of you as I hurried passed
Well I though of you and I’m thinking still
About that hole you just can’t fill
Every day is an act of will
Weeds like us are hard to kill
Weeds like us so hard to kill
I lost touch with you one day
Watched you walk away from me
Believe I failed you some way
Let you go too easily
Well I let you go are you going still
You pick up speed as you roll down hill
Sometimes men don’t leave a will
Weeds like us are hard to kill
Weeds like us so hard to kill
Well I let you go are you going still
You pick up speed as you roll down hill
Sometimes men don’t leave a will
Weeds like us are hard to kill
Weeds like us so hard to kill
