Green Grass

Bonnie McKee

Are you leaving?

Do I feel you disappear?

Am I crying?

Am I dreaming?

Will I wake up years ago?

Am I dying?



Well I remember so long ago

When the sky was still blue

I was welcomed and loved, not alone

Not alone



And 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'm a child

I am starving

I am eating from your hands

Feed me fiction



Well 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

When 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, purple 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

When 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

I'll remember like the moon

Way down inside
