Whispering Grass (Don't Tell The Trees) - Hank Crawford

Why do you whisper, green grass

why tell the trees what ain’t so?

whispering grass, the trees don’t need to know…

why tell them all your secrets… who kissed here long ago?

whispering grass… the trees don’t need to know.

Don’t you tell it to the trees,

'cause they will tell the birds and bees

and everyone will know,

because you told the blabbering trees.

Yes you told them… once before.

and it is no secret, anymore.

Why tell them all the old things?

They’re buried under the snow…

whispering grass, the trees don’t need to know.

Don’t you tell it to the trees,

'cause they will tell it to the birds and bees…

and everyone will know

because you told the blabbering trees,

yes you told them… once before,

And it’s no secret anymore.

Why tell them all the old things?

They’re buried under the snow.

Whispering grass, the trees dont need to know…
