Barren Ground

<br>There were people living in a green valley<br>Found a way to make a lot of money<br>Made the green turn gradually gray<br>They figured they could do whatever they wanted<br>Everything would be alright<br>But scars don`t always heal away<br>And the sons and the daughters got diamonds and gold<br>But they were given a land where<br>Strong roots never take hold<br><br>Good seed don`t grow<br>On the barren ground<br>Good things don`t come along<br>As you just sit dreaming on<br>Good seed don`t grow<br>On the barren ground<br>Say everything fades away<br>There you are still around<br>What`ll you do where will you go<br><br>Ther was a ship along the coast<br>Carrying a load of black money<br>In the sound near the northern lights<br>When the ship set sail<br>The crew looked for guidance<br>In the bottom of an empty glass<br>Then the captain said "pour me another rye"<br>Then the water turned black as that cold winter`s night<br><br>Good seed don`t grow<br>On the barren ground<br>Good things don`t come along<br>As you just sit dreaming on<br>Good seed don`t grow<br>On the barren ground<br>Say everything fades away<br>There you are still around<br>What`ll you do where will you go
