Wild Mountain Thyme

The student bar a wonderful web of contradictions Where bright eyes and tired lips spin their own fictions That's where we met in the depths of last night On a hazy rubble of spilt beer and vivid light You laughed when I wrote that down in my notes app 'Cos no one talks like that I need to strip it back Now you thought I was just another pretentious writer And I thought you were just another naive fighter We grinned giddily 'cos we both knew we were so see-through But there was something so forgiving 'bout the look of you So I spent the night in your garden made of stone And we watched the sprawling city crackle and moan Will you go lassie go And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will you go lassie go Now look there at the end of your garden in between the stones See that skinny plant as it struggles on its own Well the shape of it reminds me of my much younger days Clambering over earth to watch the sticky stems sway So I wonder over, and feel that sweet scent of wild thyme Wrap itself around my chest, try my best not to laugh at this sight So far in to city lines You catch my silly gaze and pour out another wine Will you go lassie go And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will you go lassie go Even three feet of concrete On thick streets of donner meat Couldn't stop the wild weeds sprouting up I pray I never forget The taste and the touch Of the beautiful things Growing around us Even three feet of concrete On thick streets of donner meat Couldn't stop the wild weeds sprouting up I pray I never forget The taste and the touch Of the beautiful things Growing around us Will you go lassie go And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will you go lassie go Lassie go
