Green Grass

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
