There's a Black Weed Growin'
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr.

There's a Black Weed growin'
Down by the Waterline
There's a cool breeze blowin'
Where the Water turns to Wine
My baby's glowin', and we are feelin' fine
There's a Black Weed weed growin'
Down by the Waterline

Love's the only Melody
I'll ever play for you
Somewhere inside a memory
Where I lay with you
Baby, gonna stay with you
Till the heavens are on fire
Black Weed and an angel choir
Take it right down to the wire

We are lost together
But we will find our way
Don't ask about forever
And don't forget to pray
And if the Fates will just allow
Everything we disavow
And everywhere we've been
Open up and let us in

There's a Black Weed weed growin'
Down by the Waterline
There are flowers on the Water
And a bright horizon line
The Sun reflected in your eyes
And nighttime brings the Moonshine
There's a Black Weed weed growin'
Down by the Waterline

Look around, it's everywhere
In the Garden, up the stairs
Creeping up the cold, stone walls
Cascading like waterfalls
Winterspring and Summerfall
Long after we've come and gone
Down this road we ramble on
Travelers from Babylon

The Black Weed by the Waterline
Keeps growing inside your Mind
Till one morning you will find
To Love someone is to be kind
You must take them as they come
Don't mistake them for The One
Black Weed's not for everyone
Godspeed and another Sun

OUTRO:

There's no need for the demon seed
When all we need is a little Black Weed
