The Grass is Blue

(Dolly Parton)



I've had to think up a way to survive

Since you said it's over, told me goodbye

I just can't make it one day without you

Unless I pretend that the opposite's true.



Rivers flow backwards, valleys are high

Mountains are level, truth is a lie

I'm perfectly fine and I don't miss you

The sky is green and the grass is blue.



--- Instrumental ---



How much can a heart and a troubled mind take

Where is that fine line before it all breaks

Can one end their sorrow just cross over it

And into that realm of insanitive bliss.



There's snow in the tropics, there's ice on the sun

It's hot in the Arctic and crying is fun

And I'm happy now and I'm glad we're through

And the sky is green and the grass is blue.



And the rivers flow backwards and my tears are dry

Swans hate the water and eagles can't fly

But I'm alright now, now that I'm over you

And the sky is green and the grass is blue.



And I don't love you and the grass is blue...
