Splendor in the Grass lyrics

I can see you're thinking lately,

I've been thinking too

About the way we used to be

And how to start anew.

Oh, 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.

Oh, 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 us in,

I won't say it wasn't fun,

But now it has to end.

Oh, life is moving oh so fast,

I think we should take it slow

And 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 is been moving, oh, so fast,

I think we should take it slow

And rest our heads upon the grass

And listen to it grow.
