Green Meadow

As she rolls onto her belly The city rumbles, how she groans In tandem with me, she ain't rolling over alone And I keep the windows closed to keep the noise out of my room And deep down within me is a green meadow in bloom As Eve sat by the snake and quietly pondered her shame She said, I think it's quite exciting to give this tension a proper name So she found her fate beyond the gate Beneath the gentle moon singing Deep down within me is a green meadow in bloom As I rise to clean and shave my face of waves of gray and brown I wash my feet in the growing heat of the sunlight bearing down And though today I must collect my clothes scattered 'round the room Deep down within me is a green meadow in bloom My head's ablaze in the summer waves My chest an impetuous storm My arms give way to a soft embrace of the weight of days before And I'm rolling down that valley river patiently to you Cause deep down within me is a green meadow in bloom Not a second too early I'll stand before you soon Deep down within me is a green meadow in bloom
