Smothering Green

[Verse 1] Look now the evening's here, colliding in the sky Down here we lie and wait, we lie awake and think All that we loved and learned just vanished in our sleep There it goes [Verse 2] Down here the wind is high, and it blows us back to earth Giving the fires their light, and keeps us rolling on Meanwhile back in your mind the battle rages on There it goes [Chorus 1] Whenever you want me Whenever you call me dear, just try And clear out your mind And I'll clear out mine Why don't you want me? Why don't you hold me down and cry Clear out your mind And I'll clear out mine [Bridge] Far out in the smothering green Where you're near to me Far gone, getting lost on me now You're never there anyhow So don't look now Holding out for a state of grace Never mind about the state we're in Searching on for that magic feel To give me love, I can't make for real [Chorus 2] Yeah, it's getting colder Thoughts getting foggier by the hour Clear out your mind I cleared out mine So why don't you wake me? Why don't you shake me down and cry Clear out your mind And I'll clear out mine
