The Weed Had Got There First

For reasons that I don't understand

I was out with a shovel in my hand

If someone's seen me, let me know

I must've been looking for sand or snow

I had a garden on my mind

Ivy was growing around my spine

I lost a needle in the hay

I'm hoping I'll never need it anyway

I wanted to plant a little seed

To fertilize the dirt

I didn't see the sleeping weed

The weed had got there first
