Thistle & Weeds

Mumford & Sons

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
   
   But plant your hope with good seeds
   Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
   Rain down, rain down on me
   Look over your hills and be still
   The sky above us shoots to kill
   Rain down, rain down on me


   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


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

   But plant your hope with good seeds
   Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
   Rain down, rain down on me
