kate fuller - daffodils or weeds lyrics
[verse 1]
hidden along the hawkesbury river
sad and lonely truth
chaining you with shackles
stronger than his roots
you k!lled a man today
you k!lled what made you whole
you took away his life
but you didn’t touch his soul
[chorus]
convict, you’re a prisoner of your deeds
will your land be covered
in daffodils or weeds?
can you breathe again
now you caught him by the toe?
don’t ever forget, farmer
you reap just what you sow
[verse 2]
you know how it feels, farmer
to long to be free
whipped and chained
scorned and chained
across the king’s great sea
when you did you become like them?
what gave you the right
to use your hand to covet his land
to widow another man’s wife?
[chorus]
convict, you’re a prisoner of your deeds
will your land be covered
in daffodils or weeds?
can you breathe again
now you caught him by the toe?
don’t ever forget, farmer
you reap just what you sow
[bridge]
build a house, make your home
no morals, you make your own
safe inside your little nest
with your neighbour’s blood
this land will be blessed
this land will be blessed
this land will be blessed
don’t close your eyes
no time to rest
with your neighbour’s blood
this land will be blessed
[outro]
hidden along the hawkesbury river
sad and lonely truth
chaining you with shackles
stronger than his roots
