Lyrics

Another year beneath the grindstone Inside the mill Another month incapable To pay the bills Have you yet brought up? Have you yet brought up your bag of grist to the miller? "Won't you lay down the plowshare?" Spoke the soil to the tiller There she goes, watching the lilies There she goes, watching the birds All those people that would call her silly They have not ever considered the earth Little Johnny Turner, he found himself a rat king Shaking his kaleidoscope down by the pond Swears it happened just the other week Mister Turner shot a man to death Now scarlet's in season And all the ladies are dressing up in it (and yet) There she goes, watching the lilies There she goes, watching the birds All those people that would call her silly They have not ever considered the earth Now that the ground beneath our feet has grown so cold Black powder laced with red and gold I just wanna hold you, babe I just wanna hold you But There You go, watching the lilies There you go, watching the birds, grown without no toil And All those people that would call you silly They have not ever considered the earth Watching the lilies
