Hope The Medicine Holds Its Fire.

Hope the medicine hold its fire

Down below and then way up higher

It’s always darker than I recall

How was I to know?

There’s a light you know

Nothings growing here, I guess it might

It’s monochrome in my paradise

And I know nothings ever been black and white

I guess that’s alright

I guess that’s alright

Things are changing ‘round here you know 

There’s no ‘easy does it now, nice and slowly'

Still they come with their guns and go

How was I to know?

We’ll be alright I s’pose

Hope the medicine hold its fire

Can’t go down again, won’t go higher

Where’s the light again, where’d it go?

How am I to know?
