Little Patch of Grass

In a world of cold concrete and steel and tinted window panes

I walked the streets among the clones with man-made programmed brains

A subway rumbled at my feet, the lonely, sick and old

I said never ever could life such as this behold

I met a bright-eyed beauty, had she fallen from the sun

I smiled and she returned it, then she crossed on green to run

I quickly made the other side, then followed just behind

Haltingly I said to her, "Lady please if you don't mind"

I saw it in your smile and your eyes just as we passed

Like me I think you'd leave it all for a little patch of grass

I'd take you 'cross a rippling stream

We'd hear the shallow water laugh

As hand in hand we made toward a little patch of grass

She looked around the city, then she looked me up and down

"Are you for real?" she asked me, I said "Yes, but not this time"

We walked and talked of common things

Then "I don't even know your name"

I said "What's the difference dear when our hearts cry for the same?"

I saw it in your smile and your eyes just as we passed

Like me I think you'd leave it all for a little patch of grass

I'd take you 'cross a rippling stream

We'd hear the shallow water laugh

As hand in hand we made toward a little patch of grass

We could lie upon our backs and smile up at the sky

A million miles from everything where nothing rushes by

There across that rippling stream we hear the shallow water laugh

As hand in hand we made toward

As hand in hand we made toward

As hand in hand we made toward a little patch of grass
