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
