Such a woman you have standing there
I'm a fool to compare
Hands are shaky but I'm not surprised
Blood stains on my eyes
Through my window what a glare I see
Broken windows never bothered me
When bruises show they take their time
But the pain it's on your mind

I feel it's too late, the grass has turned a lighter shade
Oh pa, won't you please bring me back bright colored leaves

Springtime brings about the green amongst the trees
A color like her eyes is shining
Sunshine swallows every step she leaves behind
And you got colors on your mind

Juniper has come and gone this year
Soft whispers in my ear
Broken promises she swore to keep
That don't mean a damn to me
Like picking daisies off your tongue
Life's a gamble for you son
But she never stopped to look you in the eye
You're a boring kind of lie
I feel it's too late
the grass has turned a lighter shade
Oh pa, won't you please bring me back bright colored leaves
