Juniper

You don't need a gardener to know
Which way it is the blossom's going to float and
You don't need anyone else to tell you
What's gonna grow, you're on your own
You're on your own, you're on your own

Oh, true blue juniper
Never got around to asking her
The difference between weeds and herbs and flowers

You don't need a reprimand to know
Just when a vengeful god will strike her blow, there's a
Bad weather warning on the radio
Get in before they lock the doors
You're on your own, you're on your own, oh

True blue juniper
She's a stormfront with a vicious curve
The difference between lightning, rain, and thunder
And thunder

You don't need to wait around and see
Which of her promises she's gonna keep, oh
Even distilled, it's still an evergreen, oh
It never leaves, it never leaves
It never leaves, it never leaves, oh

True blue juniper
Never got around to asking her
The difference between weeds and herbs and flowers
