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
