Bill Miller As Long As The Grass Will Grow Lyrics

As Long As The Grass Will Grow Lyrics

The last fall of the morning rain drips off the wino's shoes 



He's sleeping in a cardboard tent too drunk to know its through 



But the rainbow from this morning sun can't be too far behind 



Down his alley where the sun won't shine the blind must lead the blind 







Ten stories up the boy looks out his face pressed to the screen 



He heard the thunder rolling in it woke him from his dream 



And his mother's calling out to him boy get up and make your bed 



But that kid's a thousand miles away hasn't heard a word she said 







CHORUS: 



But as long as the grass will grow 



In the cracks of the sidewalk 



Next to the old lampposts 



As long as the birds will fly 



In the thick broken air against a highrise sky 



Then the morning sun will shed it's light 



On the city down below 







Inside a cab, the driver yawns, he's worked an all night shift 



He sets his meter one last time before he call it quits 



The heartbeat of the homeless still echoes in the streets 



They're all wrapped in coats and blankets don't have enough to eat 







CHORUS
