Out Among the Weeds

Out among the weeds

Out among the weeds

We banish you beyond the reach

Of honor, fame, and flattering speech


Out beyond the gates

Out beyond the gates

Convicted of the high offense

Of honesty and tenderness


Men discard what they won't use

The chapel bells have turned to blues

You and I have come to find 

What we can make of love and time


Envy and fatigue

Threaten our dignity

Betrayal, cant, and rotten luck

Death came in a pickup truck


An era all alone

There's nothing worse I've ever known

Never


Men discard what they won't use

The chapel bells have turned to blues

Out among the rocks and weeds

The peony will find its seed

And the lily too

In the morning dew


You and I have come to find

What we can make of love and time

You and I have come to find

What we can make of love and time


Oh, what can we make of love and time

What can we make of love and time?

What can we make of love and time?

What can we make of love and time?


Out among the weeds

You and me
