Little Green Wonder

 


Little Green Wonder

 

A red sun reflects off the blue water

And watery grassy greens squint as woodsmoke in the gray of the skies drips

Down the cheek of

I don’t care if you’re getting up and doing it

Every day, I won’t be 

You can keep that crushing weight for 

Yourself

We’re dancers in a dream, unfortunately

Not healthers getting health ###
