Yarrow and Mint Lyrics

It was the summer of scent, yarrow and mint.
How could I forget the slight still scent of blue vervain or common plantain?
I learned to know the names they been called, years ago.
Flowering mullein.
Harbinger of Spring.
In the heat, the air lay heavy on the street.
Sweating with smoke, lilac, and gasoline.
What are you looking for?
Something you never even seen.
Better to know all those weeds that ever will grow beneath your feet.
