Lyrics
"The Grass Looks Greener"
By: Stephen Foster
Verse 1:
Secrets whisper beneath my ears
under the thunder of emotion,
they're hard to hear.
Clues that line the story behind,
just evidence of the crime,
I was bound to find.
So fly away on your gifted wings,
hope your skies are clear,
hope that your world still sings.
And I'll stay behind
feet stuck in the mud,
only to see you hop on that plane
and make a break for the sun.
Chorus:
Don't look now
My heart is breakin',
My foolish love
Left me mistaken.
Think it's time
I'll be movin along,
Movin along
The grass greener over there,
Yeah the grass looks greener over there
Verse 2:
I ain't sayin you were mine,
don't expect that from you.
But love that we shared,
it was gentle and true.
And one lovely day
when your stormy wake's cleared
I'll be Movin right along
to a place without cares.
And one lovely day
when your engines run dry,
you'll come down from your skies
left to think of the times,
when that man you once loved
was on the other end of the line,
tearing down his walls
just to let you inside.
Repeat Chorus
