The Weed Tree

1.Rosemary Lane

When I was in service in the rosemary lane
I won the good will of my master amberdine
'Til a sailor came there one night to lay
And that was the beginning of my misery

He called for a candle to light him to bed
Likewise a silk hankerchief to tie up his hair
To tie up his hair as sailors will do
And third my pretty polly won't you come too

This may be young and foolish she thought it no harm
To lie into bed why to keep herself warm
And what was done there I will never disclose
But I wish that short night had been seven long years

Next morning this sailor so early arose
And into my bra 3 guineas did throw
Saying this I will give and more I will do
If you l be my pretty polly wherever I go

And if it a boy he will fight for the king
And if it a girl she will wear a gold ring
Wear a gold ring and a dress all of light
And remember my service in the rosemary lane

When I was in service in the rosemary lane
I won the good will of my master amberdine
'Til a sailor came there one night to lay
And that was the beginning of my misery


2.Tomorrow

All I wanted was your time
All you ever gave me was tomorrow
All I wanted was your time
All you ever gave me was tomorrow

And tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes

People stood in a line with flowers
They were only waiting for the moment
People stood in a line with flowers
They were only waiting for the moment

And tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes

And I know the feeling so well
I've been waiting for you for so long
And I know the feeling so well
I've been waiting for you for so long

And tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes


3.Black is the color

Black is the color of my true love hair
His face is like some wondrous fair
With the prettiest face and the neatest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands

I love my love
And well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
If you know mark on earth I see
I counciled you as you have me

I go to the clyde for to mourn and weep
But satisfied I never can sleep
I write him a letter just a few short lines
I suffer death one thousand times

black is the color of my true love's hair
His face is like some wondrous fair
With the prettiest face and the neatest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands


4.Afraid

Cease to know or to tell
Or to see or to be your own
Cease to know or to tell
Or to see or to be your own

Have someone else's will as your own
Have someone else's will as your own
You are beautiful and you are alone
You are beautiful and you are alone

Often the adolescent plague
Reward your grace
Often the adolescent plague
Reward your grace

Confuse your hunger capture the fake
Confuse your hunger capture the fake
Banish the faceless reward your grace
Banish the faceless reward your grace


5.Blue Mountain

Yonder stands blue mountain
Oh, yonder stands blue mountain
Oh, yonder stands my home
Oh, yonder stands my home

Where the blueberries are a-bloomin'
Where the blueberries are a-bloomin'
I'm gonna make some blueberry wine
I'm gonna make some blueberry wine

If I ever ride again
If I ever ride again
I'm riding back to my blueberry land
Well, I'm riding back to my blueberry land


6.Flaming Telepaths

Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies

Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire
Imprisoned by the thoughts of what to do
Is it any wonder that the joke's an iron
And the jokes on you

Experiments that failed too many times
Transformations that were too hard to find
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies

Yes I know the secrets of the iron and mind
They're trinity acts a mineral fire
Yes I know the secrets of the circuitry mind
It's a flaming wonder telepath

Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies

Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire
Imprisoned by the thoughts of what to do
Is it any wonder that the joke's an iron
And the jokes on you

And the joke's on you...


7.Dead King

Take this scarred body
Annoint his heirs
Take a dollar for the crossing
From coins in his meal

Souls slight of coin
Slight of name
Then I'll meet you at the back gate
And greet you just the same

Take to my side
And we'll walk on
To where the frost of the dead king
Weigh heavy on the vine

Long it's been said
That the worlds
Of a man be his woman
And his lands have retainers
