Will It Grow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I made a promise to not let go Our tug of war has only made me want you more Now steeped in hard luck and doomed to roam My love is braver than you know My forefathers, they worked this land And I was schooled in the tyranny of nature's plans And dressed in thunder, a cloud came around Oh, in the shape of a lion, a hand came down [Chorus] Now, damn this valley and damn this cold Well, it takes so long to let me know It's plant, and reap, and plow, and sow But tell me, will it grow? [Verse 2] Dig my ditches in the golden sun And I'd be robbing these trains if I could catch me one Now, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday's gone And got me stone-cold sober in a drought so long Boarded mansions and ghost-filled yards Now, there's a boy in a water-tower counting cars Steel trap open and empty stalls Now, there's a well-worn saddle, but the horse is gone [Chorus] Now, damn this valley and damn this cold It takes so long to let me know It's plant, and reap, and plow, and sow But tell me, will it grow? (Will it grow?) [Verse 3] Jet black starlit midnight rolls And I am down in the garden where I let you go Up on the surface, the earth looks round But it's a godless city of cold flat ground [Chorus] Now, damn this valley and damn this cold It takes so long to let me know It's plant, and reap, and plow, and sow But tell me, will it grow? [Outro] Will it grow? Will it grow? Will it grow?
