Wallowing under
a weeping willow tree
I can't get the birds to sing for me
So I moan to myself in misery
Feeling afraid that I'll never be free
They say that love is blind, but my love for
you was green
Rain cloud keeps on following me
Wherever I go, it's too dark to see
Cold and wet, with no place to be
The doors are all locked, and I don't have
the keys I've still got the blues,
because my love
for you was green
Your character had so much color
It ran over mine cause I was naïve
Love can't ever be black and white
It's all about the gray in
between
I keep getting stung by these bumblebees I
wonder should I get down on my knees
Somebody, anybody, help me please
Set my mind at ease
before the heart freezed
At first it felt red hot,
but my love for you was green
Your confidence was what I envied
Your experience intimidated me
My love faded into the background I learned
to let high contrast bleed
Waiting and wondering and
wishing I could leave
Whisk away is what I'd like to be
Whispering windy on a warm breeze
Floating away to the clear blue sea
Next time I'll know better
But my love for you was green
Maybe soon I'll wake up and
realize it's all just a bad dream
At least now I admit it
My love for you was green
you
