Where Evil Grows - The Poppy Family & Terry Jacks

I never looked higher Than I could see Never gave less Than you have given me The more you have taken You turned into fakes I finally know now Why, for heaven sake? Don't tell me you did not see that I cried Don't act so deaf and blind Don't think that if someone's made dumb to the core He would stay like before So, I take my life Back from where the rain grows Die to survive Back from where the rain grows Now you call me liar 'Cause you are just the Always have right, fools majority I think that if someone Starved at your side You'd all turn your back Won't give any dime Don't tell me you did not see that I cried Don't act so deaf and blind Don't think that if someone's been sad to the core He would stay like before So, I take my life Back from where the rain grows Die to survive Back from where the rain grows I take my life (I take my life) Back from where the rain grows Die to survive (die to survive) Back from where the rain grows Don't tell me you did not see that I cried Don't act so deaf and blind Don't think that if someone's been sad to the core He would stay like before I take my life Back from where the rain grows Die to survive Back from where the rain grows I take my life (I take my life) Back from where the rain grows Die to survive (die to survive) Back from where the rain grows (I take my life) Back from where the rain grows (Die to survive) Back from where the rain grows (I take my life, I take my life) Back from where the rain grows (Die to survive, die to survive) Back from where the rain grows

I can close my eyes and it takes me back To two young lovers on that riverbank To the sounds of the wind and the whip-poor-will And the way that your bare skin would feel As we laid in the sun I could see your eyes Blue as the blue in that Southern sky Kisses warm as a wild red rose At the bend in the river where the cottonwood grows And we'd dance And we'd sing And we'd love each other as the pale moon glows At the bend in the river where the cottonwood grows At the bend in the river where the cottonwood grows I can still recall the words you said And the plans we dreamed as we looked ahead But the fork in the river took us separate ways As the years went by, I can't forget those days And I often wonder but I'll never know If we ended up following a different road Would we still be laying by the wild red rose? At the bend in the river where the cottonwood grows And we'd dance And we'd sing And we'd love each other as the pale moon glows At the bend in the river where the cottonwood grows At the bend in the river where the cottonwood grows I can close my eyes and it takes me back To two young lovers on that riverbank

So now you say that you don't care I loved you yesterday Then threw it all away and left you standing there Maybe I could find the love I left behind Don't you know that true love will find a way? Where our love grows I'm gonna take you to a place that I know We'll be together darlin' don't let me go 'Cause there's only the two of us Where our love grows And if you say it's in the past I'll make it up to you Do what I have to do This time we'll make it last Somewhere in my mind I know the sun will shine Don't you know that true love is here to stay? Where our love grows Whattcha gonna do about it? Where you gonna go without it? Whattcha gonna say now we've found Now that we've found a place True love is here to stay Where our love grows I'm gonna take you to a place that I know We'II be together darlin' don't let me go 'Cause there's only the two of us Where our love grows
