Grass is Green, Sky is Blue, Sun is Yellow

I walked through the field with my hands in my coat

Thinking ‘bout time and the things that I wrote

Grass is green, but it fades with the cold

Like all the truths I used to hold

Sky is blue, but it turns into grey

When the night pulls the color away

Sun is yellow, but it’s sinking so slow

Like everything I’ve ever known

And life don’t wait, it moves like a train

Through the dark, through the loss, through the rain

We paint it bright, but we know what is true

Grass is green, sky is blue…

Moments drift by like a leaf on the breeze

We hold tight, then we learn to release

People come, then they’re ghosts in a frame

Same old smile, but nothing’s the same

I used to laugh, now I mostly stare

Out at the world like there’s nobody there

Sun is yellow, but it’s fading to red

We chase light, but we sleep with regret

And life don’t ask, it just goes on through

Cracks in the glass, stains in the hue

We say it’s fine, but we’re missing the glue

Grass is green, sky is blue…

Under moonlight on the river

I see faces I remember

Some are gone, some just changed

Guess nothing’s really meant to stay

Grass is green… till it turns

Sky is blue… till it burns

Sun is yellow… then it hides

Life is real, but it slips through the tide

Grass is green, sky is blue

I was me, now I’m something new.
