Green Meadow

from Beyond The Gate by Henry Crook Bird

/

lyrics

As she rolls onto her belly
The city rumbles, how she groans
In tandem with me, she ain’t rollin’ over alone
And I keep the windows closed to keep the noise out of my room
And deep down within me is a green meadow in bloom

As Eve sat by the snake and quietly pondered her shame
She said, I think it’s quite exciting to give this tension a proper name
So she found her fate beyond the gate
Beneath the gentle moon singing
Deep down within me is a green meadow in bloom

As I rise to clean and shave my face of waves of gray and brown
I wash my feet in the growing heat of the sunlight bearing down
And though today I must collect my clothes scattered ‘round the room
Deep down within me is a green meadow in bloom

My head’s ablaze in the summer waves
My chest an impetuous storm
My arms give way to a soft embrace of the weight of days before
And I’m rollin’ down that valley river patiently to you
Cause deep down within me is a green meadow in bloom

Not a second too early
I’ll stand before you soon
Deep down within me is a green meadow in bloom
