until the grass gets greener - will varley lyrics

for twenty winters i was cold, and on my heart there settled snow
the darkest places i would roam, looking for a medicine for my soul
my friends and i would chase the stars
and from those battles we′re still scarred
we’d feed ourselves from the tombs
and the dungeons ′neath the city loom
and i’d often pray as i roamed the street that an angel might fall at
my feet, that every time the morning
came, a blanket of ice lay on my brain
as the city burned in the rebel scream
from my attic window i could dream
and i told myself to give it time
’til the grass gets greener on our side
in early spring when the lambs are still blind
i walked across this land of mine
and the wheel as wild as a foreign
land, i took my first steps as a man
in a sleepy town
i stopped to rest where the winds hit heavy along the cliffs
that′s where i saw her standing there with big brown eyes and long
brown hair; where she looked at me with a face so
kind, like i′d known her since the beginning of time
and we fell into another tense
where the machines of war don’t make no sense;
where the money′s as empty as the barrel of
a gun; where the winter never seemed to come
well i don’t need money when i′ve got your
eyes, ’til the grass gets greener on our side
well i′d build you a house by the sea with a blue and white door and
an apple tree, and from there we’ll see the summer’s by
taking or leaving the world outside;
as them politicians come and go
and they′ll build their empires and their roads
we′ll hide behind the rolling hills
and they’ll hide behind their dollar bills
and they′ll claim that they are law
and all they’ve ever had′s them cannon
b*lls, which they fire through the setting sun
the sun doesn’t care what they have done
we′ll bury the ground beneath our feet
for our blue and white door and our apple tree
and i’ll take care of your worried mind until the grass gets greener
on our side and if our grass stays golden brown
from the shadows cast upon the ground
buy me a brush and a tin of green dye
and i’ll paint the grass ′neath the autumn sky
and if a stranger rests between our hearts
if death should ever do us part, and our molecules turn into dust
we′ll travel through this universe, and in a thousand trillion years
on a fire of planet through the stratosphere
where you and i will be together again
because love doesn’t care about time and sp*ce
but instead of humans
we will be two little rocks on a windswept beach
and we′ll sit there for the rest of time
’til the grass gets greener on our side
