Green Grass lyrics

Lay your head where my heart used to be

Hold the earth above me

Lay down in the green grass

Remember when you loved me

Come closer, don’t be shy

Stand beneath a rainy sky

The moon is over the rise

Think of me as a train goes by

Clear the thistles and brambles

Whistle ‘Didn’t He Ramble’

Now there’s a bubble of me

and it’s floating in thee

Stand in the shade of me

Things are now made of me

The weather vane will say:

It smells like rain today

God took the stars and he tossed ‘em

Can’t tell the birds from the blossoms

You’ll never be free of me

He’ll make a tree from me

Don’t say good bye to me

Describe the sky to me

And if the sky falls, mark my words

we’ll catch mocking birds

Lay your head where my heart used to be

Hold the earth above me

Lay down in the green grass

Remember when you loved me
