Lyrics
GREEN FOR ME by Scott Detweiler
There’s a place that I remember
With the white clouds in the sky
Painted on the blueness
And filling up my eye
Even deep down in the water
Where the water life is seen
I’m swimming in the classrooms
And hoping that it’s clean
How many times can one destroy a place like this?
Don’t you know there ain’t much more that man can do?
The sand is running faster through the middle of the glass
And just like anything, the good things never last
Come to me, oh baby, come to me
And I will tell you how it was
And how I think that it should be
Come to me, oh baby, come to me
Cause you’re the green, the green for me
Liquid rock has dried upon
The fields I used to know
Filling up the colored skies
Where the flowers used to grow
Frontiers striped with borders white
To park your come-and-go
One for me and one for you
And everyone you know
How many times can one destroy a place like this?
Don’t you know there ain’t much more that man can do?
The sand is running faster through the middle of the glass
And just like anything, the good things never last
Come to me, oh baby, come to me
And I will tell you how it was
And how I think that it should be
Come to me, oh baby, come to me
Cause you’re the green, the green for me
