歌詞

The land is starving It needs watering The birds on the trees Won't open the spring For the rain won't fall here And the grass is no green The birds stop singing They need some raining The birds on the trees Will not live till spring For the rain won't falling And the grass is no green The grass is no green The grass is no green The grass is no green Deep in a clearing Lovers are sleeping Under an oak tree Wind blows lightly While they are lying Where the grass is no green The land is starving It needs watering The birds on the trees Won't open the spring For the rain won't falling And the grass is no green The birds stop singing They need some raining The birds on the trees Will not live till spring And the grass is no green The grass is no green The grass is no green The grass is no green Deep in a clearing Lovers are sleeping Under an oak tree Wind blows lightly While they are lying Where the grass is no green The birds stop singing They need some raining The birds on the trees Will not live till spring For the rain wouldn't falling And the grass is no green The grass is no green The grass is no green The grass is no green
