Dysfunction needs to be watered and nurtured for it to grow.

Promise Hollow by Sam Whedon

Down Promise Hollow runs the river Dry
The grass won’t grow; I don’t know why
With a hollow promise I took her hand
Laid my foundation in the sand

In the darkened hollow where the sun don’t shine
And the house is sinking but we’re all doing fine

Down Promise Hollow runs the river Dry
The grass won’t grow; I don’t know why

I love my darlin’; I make her cry
The grass won’t grow; I don’t know why
It’s a happy hollow; no matter what they say
The grass won’t grow but that’s okay

They don’t like me up around the bend
But I’ll pack their bags and they’ll never come back again

In the darkened hollow where the sun don’t shine
And the house is sinking but we’re all doing fine

Down Promise Hollow runs the river Dry
The grass won’t grow; I don’t know why
