The Grass Is Greener
Album - 1970 - Debaser id 80139

The truth that I sing
And the words that I bring
Are all meant for you
The trees they are full
And the minds they are bare
And this time I care.

Everyone has a car
But they won't travel far
Nobody here has the sunshine like I have.

Sad sad town, sad sad town
In the burning desert
Shanty town, shanty town,
Shanty town of the millionaire
A man will awaken one morning
Alone in the big brown gras
A millionaire alone in the burning desert.

Here am I alone in this city
Ain't that a pity
I just want to leave
And get away from Lost Angeles
Earthquakes and smog
Are driving me out of town
I don't want to be here
I don't want to be around
Take me away if you please
I do not want to live in Lost Angeles
I don't want to live here
Just want to get back home
I don't want to be here any more
I want to be on my own
Take me away if you please
Get me away from Lost Angeles.

Baby, don't you leave me in this world alone
We'll go and see somebody
Who won't shake his head and moan
Doctors can do anything,
It is said, today
I'll do anything, I'll even pray
but don't you leave me alone like this
I couldn't stand it without your kiss
so don't go
Don't you go.

Well, there must be something
that will cure you true
Is there anything that I can do
I just can't stand it
without your living breath
but all that's left for us
Is your certain death
but baby don't you go
I couldn't face the world alone
so I'll follow you
I'll follow you.

To the ends of the mountains
I'll tread a path
just to hear once more
your fragrant laugh
I'll swim great rivers,
and I'll swim the seas
I'll do anything, anything to please
so well go together and face the things to come
I'm not afraid
there, that's done.

Woman I can't stand it
How you look at others the way you do.
Please don't do me wrong
because I'll never forgive you.
Well, I just want to love
Love you my who life through
I'm tellin' you.

People tried to tell me
How our love was doomed from the very start.
I wouldn't listen
but soon I know youre gonna break my heart.
Why would you leave me
Why not believe me
How much I love you
I'm tellin you now.

How many moments of pain
Have passed through my life.
Since I've met you baby
My world has been filled with strife.
So stay no longer
my love will go stronger without you
my love will go stronger without you.

You asked me to a party
to a house just by the moon
You gave me silver loving
the end was all too soon

You asked me to the theatre
in a place quite near the sun
You gave me golden sunbeams
you act was all in fun

Rope ladder to the moon!

You asked me to a meeting
in a cottage in the snow
You gave me central heating
I can't forget the glow

You asked me to a weekend
down by the stormy sea
You took me to a ceremony
and the sacrifice – was me!

You asked me to a stromcloud
up near the rainbow's end
Then you threw away the ladder
and gave me to your friend

You took me to a prison
and you said its chief was me
Then you locked me deep inside you
and thew away the key

Rope ladder to the moon!

When the night wind cries on the Bloodred feathers
Containers groan as they come together
And the loaded roadsigns they point to never

Don't let it sleep
Don't let it fall asleep

When seagulls cry from the powered drains
Computers call back from the hearts of cranes
And the Tanks of Tigers prowl through the brains

Don't let it sleep
Don't let it fall asleep
