Soft Green Dreams

Verse 1

There’s a haze in the room tonight,

Soft green dreams in a silver light.

I light one up and the world slows down,

Like a jazz band in a sleepy town.

The smoke curls up like a lover’s sigh,

Driftin’ away as the hours go by.

Every worry starts to bend,

When Mary Jane becomes my friend.

Chorus

Oh, pass me that sweet little cloud of peace,

Let my restless heart find release.

In this wild old world so loud and fast,

I just wanna make this feeling last.

Verse 2

Ashtray glow and a velvet chair,

Lost in the rhythm of smoky air.

The city’s noise can’t reach me here,

When I’m floatin’ high and crystal clear.

Old regrets start to fade away,

Like last night’s rain in the break of day.

For a moment, I don’t need a plan,

Just a slow-burn dream in my hand.

Chorus

Oh, roll me up another gentle high,

Let me drift beneath this lazy sky.

I don’t need much, I don’t need fame,

Just a little green to soothe the pain.

Verse 3

The clock ticks soft on the barroom wall,

While shadows dance and the nightbirds call.

Every drag pulls me further out,

Past the fear, past the doubt.

I think of love I let slip away,

Of words I should’ve had the nerve to say.

But in this cloud, I finally see,

I was too hard on old me.

Bridge

So I breathe it in and I let it go,

Like a sad old tune on a radio.

The past don’t bite, the future don’t scream,

When I’m driftin’ deep in this mellow dream.

Chorus

Oh, sweet Mary Jane, you treat me kind,

When the world gets heavy on my mind.

In a lonely room with a jazz-soft tune,

I’m floatin’ away in a smoky moon.

Verse 4

Neon signs outside the glass,

Look like memories slippin’ past.

Every face that I used to know,

Fades like smoke in a slow-mo glow.

But right here, in this velvet haze,

I find a little bit of grace.

No hurry, no race to run,

Just me and the setting sun.

Final Chorus

Oh, pass me that slow, sweet peace,

Let every worry gently cease.

In a world that never stands still,

This little green keeps my heart fulfilled.

Outro

So pour one more drink, let the night stay long,

Let the smoke and the jazz play on.

In this quiet room where the shadows sway,

I’ll float with Mary Jane till the break of day.
