Splendor in the Grass

I can see you're thinking baby

I've been thinking too

About the way we used to be

And how to start anew

Maybe I'm a hopeless dreamer

Maybe I've got it wrong

But I'm going where the grass is green

If you'd like to come along

Back when I was starting out

I always wanted more

But every time I got it

I still felt just like before

Fortune is a fickle friend

I'm tired of chasing fame

And when I look into your eyes

I know you feel the same

All these years of living large

Are starting to do a sin

I won't say it wasn't fun

But now it has to end

Life is moving oh so fast

I think we should take it slow

Rest our heads upon the grass

And listen to it grow

Going where the hills are green

And the cars are few and far

Days are full of splendor

And at night you can see the stars

Life's been moving oh so fast

I think we should take it slow

Rest our heads upon the grass

And listen to it grow
