Grass is Green
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He didn't have much to say
That day up on the hill
No secrets to divulge
No tears to spill
And the grass was greener than he remembered
And the air was sticky with mid July
He was closer to her than the Earth was to the Sun
But he had to say goodbye
She couldn't tell you how many times
She closed her mouth and didn't say a word
She closed her eyes to the truth of his lies
They couldn't be seen or heard
And the grass was greener than she remembered
And the air was sticky with mid July
She was closer to him than the Earth was to the Sun
But she had to say goodbye
We made music like some people make love
I write these songs 'cause I've got nothing better to do
Things weren't perfect but I know they were good
Good luck to you, good luck to you two
And the grass is greener than I remembered
And the birds are free now but they never learned to fly
I was closer to them than the Earth was to the Sun
But I had to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Yes, I was closer to them than the Earth was to the Sun
She was closer to him than the Earth was to the Sun
He was closer to her than the Earth was...
