lyrics

I'd like to follow the green, and go where the grass never changes
To brown in the winter time, and snow never falls on the land
I don't like the feel of the wind, blowing cold from out of the north land
Just give me the warm summer sun at my back, and a cool tall drink in my hand

Let me listen to the rhythm of the rain, play a tune on the roof o're my head
Let me 'wakin to the red robin's song through a window at the foot of my bed
Let me walk through the grass when it's tall and there's a blanket of green o're the land
Just give me the warm summer sun at my back, and a cool tall drink in my hand
