China White III

(album: It Hates You - 2009)

Our land is so terribly dry
And we see no crop
Without the raindrops
Only the weeds will survive
And keep our seeds from thriving
Will we ever see the spring?

I've got my eye on you
And these eyes have a plan
I've got my eyes on you
And they weep and you stay
Now won't you please grow for me?

I swore I'd never leave your side
But I'm exhausted
I need my rest
And even when I close my eyes
Oh these tears continue
They will find their way to you

I've got my eye on you
And these eyes have a plan
I've got my eyes on you
And they weep and you stay
Now won't you please grow for me?

I thought I'd never see the day
When the clouds would roll away
In pain and suffering
Bring the rain and bring this pain
Don't cry for me dear
I'm alive and I'm right here
I missed you so damn much then
With no garden to tend
