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
