Barren Ground
(专辑: Taste The Salt - 1993)
Good seed don't grow On the
barren ground There were people living in a
green valley Found a
way to make a
lot of money Make the
green turn gradually gray They figured they could do whatever they want Everything would be alright Scars don't always heal away And the
sons and the
daughters got diamonds and gold They were given land where strong roots never take hold Good seed don't grow on the
barren ground Good things don't come along As you just sit, dreaming on Good seed don't grow on the
barren ground Say, everything fades away They won't stand around What do you do? Oh, where do you go? There was a
ship along the
coast Carrying a
hull of black money And the
sound made the
Northern Lights When the
ship set sail The
crew looked for guidance In the
bottom of an empty glass And the
captain said, "Call me another ride" And the
water turned black as that cold, windless night Good seed don't grow on the
barren ground Good things don't come along As you just sit, dreaming on Good seed don't grow on the
barren ground Say everything fades away They won't stand around What do you do? Where do they go? And the
sons and the
daughters got diamonds and gold They were given a
land where strong roots never take hold Good seed don't grow on the
barren ground Good things don't come along As you just sit, dreaming on Good seed don't grow on the
barren ground Say, everything fades away They won't stand around Good seed don't grow on the
barren ground (On the
barren ground) Good things don't come along As you just sit, dreaming on Good seed don't grow on the
barren ground (Under the
barren ground) Say, everything fades away They won't stand around Good seed don't grow on the
barren ground (Under the
barren ground) Good things don't come along As you just sit, dreaming on Good seed don't grow on the
barren ground (Under the
barren ground) Say, everything fades away They won't stand around
