Green Grass - Bonnie McKee

Are you leaving?

Do I feel you disappear

Am I crying?

Am I dreaming?

Will I wake up years ago?

Or am I dying?

I remember so long ago

When the sky was still blue

I was welcomed and loved

Not alone

I remember so long ago

When it still felt so good

And you told me I could

Have my way with you

I remember way down inside

You’re pretending

Make believing I’m in charge

I am a child

I am starving

I am eating from your hands

Feed me fiction

I remember so long ago

When we met I was new

And you told me «the truth sets

You free…»

Yes, you did

And I remember so long ago

And the green in your eyes

Set off something inside me

That burns

Feel it burning

Way down inside

On that beautiful night

I watched you while you slept

Through my warm, purle high

In the green grass

Where I held you, and I wept

In the green grass where I wept

Way down inside

I remember so long ago

When you said not a word

But I know that I heard your goodbye

Yes, I did

And I remember so long ago

And I knew you were gone

But your love lingered on

Through the years

I still love you

Way down inside

Would the moon forget

The tide?

Would the soul forget to die?

Would the wind forget to sigh?

Would my eyes forget to cry?

I’ll remember like the moon

Way down inside
