Grass - Sam Gopal

Once on a green day I was in long grass

And you came rustling silently by

I caught your long hand, fingers of satin

And in the long grass together we lie

What are you thinking, kissing me softly?

Where does your mind go when you are here?

Is loving really your only answer?

Or does your mind sigh, shed lonely tears?

I can break walls down if you will help me

If I can reach you, help you to see

All of the good things that I can give you

If you will take them, take them from me

Please, will you trust me?

maybe I’ll hurt you

But I can heal it, soon as its done

Give me your hand and allow me to lead you

Out of the long grass into the sun

If you are going, go very swiftly

Don’t lend or say tender goodbye

Winds of uncertainty, carry you from me

To you the truth is seeming a lie

If you are staying, try harder to see me

Tearing the blindfolds down from your eyes

Seeing the sunshine, feeling the rainfall

Learn how to live and learn how to die

You are still learning, life is your teacher

If you don’t listen, you’ll never hear

My lips are moving, I’m only speaking

To try and make you stay with me here

Make up your own mind, give me a reason

Why you are running, small and alone

No one is lonely, if they are ready

To look for living and living alone
