Green Grass

Lay your head where my heart used to be Hold the earth above me Lay down on the green grass Remember when you loved me Come closer don't be shy Stand beneath a rainy sky The moon is over the rise Think of me as a train goes by Clear the thistles and brambles Whistle 'Didn't he ramble' Now there's a bubble of me And it's floating in thee Stand in the shade of me Things are now made of me The weather vane will say It smells like rain today God took the stars and he tossed 'em Can't tell the birds from the blossoms You'll never be free of me He'll make a tree from me Don't say goodbye to me Describe the sky to me And if the sky falls, mark my words We'll catch mocking birds Lay your head where my heart used to be Hold the earth above me Lay down on the green grass Remember when you loved me --- Green Grass - Tom Waits
