Old Ground

When love goes out to find someone

Does it know just where to go

Does it know just where to land

And where to grow

Does it flourish on the rich ground

And does it die on barren land

Cos lately I've been digging through

Desert sands

So what am I doing back here

In this place of so much pain

And when the sun goes down its 100 in the shade

My soul is dry and thirsty

And it's screaming for some rain

But I just keep on turning old ground again

Temptations of a new life

And the draw of neon lights

Is sometimes just too strong

For me to fight

But now that you are leaving

And I am sticking to my plans

I guess that I'll keep digging

Through desert sands

So what am I doing back here

In this place of so much pain

And when the sun goes down its 100 in the shade

My soul is dry and thirsty

And it's screaming for some rain

But I just keep on turning old ground again

When I die will I be cold

The empty barrel of a gun

A gun that fought in all the wars

But never shot no one

But meanwhile I am searching

For something bigger than I am

I guess that I'll keep digging through

Desert sands

So what am I doing back here

In this house of so much pain

And when the sun goes down its 100 in the shade

My soul is dry and thirsty

And it's screaming for some rain

But I just keep on turning old ground again

But I just keep on turning old ground again

But I just keep on turning old ground again
