the grass is no green

the land is starving

it needs watering

the birds on the trees

won't open the spring

for the rain won't fall here

and the grass is no green

the birds stop singing

they need some raining

the birds on the trees

will not live till spring

for the rain won't falling

and the grass is no green

the grass is no green

the grass is no green

the grass is no green

deep in a clearing

lovers are sleeping

under an oak tree

wind blows lightly

while they are lying

where the grass is no green

the land is starving

it needs watering

the birds on the trees

won't open the spring

for the rain won't falling

and the grass is no green

the birds stop singing

they need some raining

the birds on the trees

will not live till spring

and the grass is no green

the grass is no green

the grass is no green

the grass is no green

deep in a clearing

lovers are sleeping

under an oak tree

wind blows lightly

while they are lying

where the grass is no green

the birds stop singing

they need some raining

the birds on the trees

will not live till spring

for the rain wouldn't falling

and the grass is no green

the grass is no green

the grass is no green

the grass is no green
