Green And Grey

Fade as if to a whisper

You tried to steal your fortune from my diamond mine

Me and my lady were diamond traders

On the African coast of Pomona

And there never seemed to be a price to pay

Until one day the dig just fell through

Remember when that dig fell through

And then the rains came

Turning us all to green and grey

Then the rains came

She said how can I love you

When I don't even know you no more

I want to feel free to believe

I want to feel free to rock your soul

And watch my words fall right off your tongue

Me and my lady rode the white falls down

We watched the sun spin our shadows

As they froze in the dust on the ground

And then the rains came

Turning us all to green and grey

Then the rains came

She said how can I love you

When I don't even know you no more

Taking my time down the lonely road

There never seemed such a burden I could handle

She said maybe I won't love you this time around

Maybe I'll get mixed up

Maybe we're all just scared of growing old she said

That's why we cry when the rain comes down

But it turns the dust to mud as the grass grows from the ground
