An Acre of Green
Lyrics and Vocals: Chris Winters
Music: Chris Winters and Rich Huston
We were lying on the grass
We held our little hands ;)
The clouds were drifting past
We dreamed of different lands
Tracing figures in the sky
Before the sun went down
The clouds would disappear, and
The green would turn to brown
We later went away
Into our separate lives
Never have the time
To watch the clouds go by
In the murkiness of dream
Something still lies buried deep
A memory of green
Infiltrates our sleep
It’s easy not to think too hard
Of where it all comes from
Did it spring up just like weeds
In one day?
Let’s just take this one canard
Hold it tight and close
Don’t ask me what it costs
Or who’ll pay, or when.
My mother had one and my father had one and
My brother had one and my sister had one and
I’ll have one
I think I want one
Now here’s a funny question
Would you have ever known
That you would have an acre
Of green to call your own?
We all have all the same things
We lie upon the grass
We planted in the ground
So time will never pass
