Whispering Grass (Don't Tell the Trees)
Ringo Starr · Sentimental Journey [1970]
Why do you whisper, green grass?
Why tell the trees what ain't so?
Whispering grass, the trees
Don't have to know, no, no
Why tell them all your secrets?
Who kissed there long ago?
Whispering grass, the trees
Don't need to know
Don't you tell it to the breeze
'Cause they will tell the birds and bees
And everyone will know
Because you told the blabbering trees
Yes, you told them once before
It's no secret any more
Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'Cause the trees don't need to know
Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'Cause the trees don't need to know
Why tell the trees what ain't so?
Whispering grass, the trees
Don't have to know, no, no
Why tell them all your secrets?
Who kissed there long ago?
Whispering grass, the trees
Don't need to know
Don't you tell it to the breeze
'Cause they will tell the birds and bees
And everyone will know
Because you told the blabbering trees
Yes, you told them once before
It's no secret any more
Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'Cause the trees don't need to know
Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'Cause the trees don't need to know
