Jay Bird

They're green
Greener than the sky
Bluer still than boundless bladed grass beneath
Oh, they're green
Greener than the streams
Darling, bluer than the wavering seaweed

I'm wondering why
Oh why
Do I see nothing when I look into those eyes
I'm wondering why
Oh, why do you hide behind your own blue-green disguise

And the rain
Is falling on the road
Rustic riverside shops hide with their doors closed
And the hands
The trembling hands of ghosts
They once searched for love but hid when they were close

And it must get lonely there
When you're wondering if he knows or if he cares
Behind your walls
Breathing in your sacred air
Let it go and find your phantom fellow there

And, I'm wondering why
Oh why
Do I see nothing when I look into those eyes
I'm wondering why
Oh, why do you hide behind your own blue-green disguise
And, I'm wondering why
Oh darling why
Do I see nothing when I look into your eyes
I'm wondering why
Oh, why do you hide behind your own blue-green disguise

There's holes
Holes that no one knows
Where they go or where we'll be when these doors close
And the cold
Cold that's in your toes
Cause love can only grow and plant in the soul
Love can only grow with courage to be sown
