Barren Ground

Good seed don't grow on the barren groundThere were people living in a green valley

Found a way to make a lot of money

Made the green turn gradually grayThey figured they could do whatever they wanted

Everything would be alright

But scars don't always heal awayAnd the sons and the daughters

Got diamonds and gold

But they were given a land where

Strong roots never take holdGood 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, there you are still around

What'll you do? woah, where will you go?There was a ship along the coast

Carrying a hold of black money

In the sound near the northern lightsWhen the ship set sail

The crew looked for guidance

In the bottom of an empty glassThen the captain said

"Pour me another rye"

Then the water turned black

As that cold winter's nightGood 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, there you are still around

Oh, what'll you do? Oh, where will you go?And the sons and the daughters

Got diamonds and gold

They were given a land where

Strong roots never take holdGood seed don't grow on the barren ground

Good things don't come along

As you just sit dreaming onGood seed don't grow on the barren ground

Say everything fades away, there you are still aroundGood seed don't grow on the barren ground

Things don't come along

As you just sit dreaming onGood seed don't grow on the barren ground

Good seed don't grow on the barren ground

Good seed don't grow on the barren ground

Good seed don't grow on the barren ground
