Green Grass Lyrics
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
Come closer don't be shy
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise
Think of me as a train goes by
Clear the thistles and brambles
Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'
Now there's a bubble of me
And it's floating in thee
Stand in the shade of me
Things are now made of me
The weather vane will say
It smells like rain today
God took the stars and he tossed 'em
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
You'll never be free of me
He'll make a tree from me
Don't say good bye to me
Describe the sky to me
And if the sky falls, mark my words
We'll catch mocking birds
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise
Think of me as a train goes by
Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'
Now there's a bubble of me
And it's floating in thee
Things are now made of me
The weather vane will say
It smells like rain today
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
You'll never be free of me
He'll make a tree from me
Describe the sky to me
And if the sky falls, mark my words
We'll catch mocking birds
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me

Such a beautiful song. Scarlett's really done a great job on her Tom Waits covers. Her vocals are so haunting.
I love this song and Scarlett's version. Like Tom, Scarlett's very seductive, but it's in a different way. She's like a green fairy or a famme fatale. I love the children’s music toy in the background. It fits the song perfectly! And again the song is elevated to a grander scale by Scarlett’s brilliant musicians.
