Amy Helm - This Too Shall Light

Long Daddy Green

Long daddy green is an old, old friend
He hangs around the rainbow's end
Dealing out dreams from a pot full of fortune and fame
Fanning the flame
Hear him calling your name

Long daddy green is a fly by night
You turn around he's out of sight
Seems he's your fair weather friend
And your foul weather foe
The wind starts to blow
Daddy green starts to go

The lies he tells aren't new to you
You're not naive
You know he won't be true to you
Still, you believe, you believe

Long daddy green likes to disappear
Pretend he is nowhere near
Then he'll come tap at your window
And scratch at your screen
He sure can be mean

Long daddy green
Long daddy green
