Mike Crawford - Long Grass Lyrics




I was brought up in the long grass
With the tires and the broken glass
I got good at keeping secrets
I just let those summers past
When they asked me for my name
I told them lies
Things ain't been the same
Since my mother died

They say I came out screaming
I was caught in the headlights
The Doctor took to drinking
And the nurse she cried all night
Some things will change your world
To black and white
Things ain't been the same
Since my mother died

There's a rainbow in the road
Full of colours I don't see
I can see the blues and blacks
But the yellows gone from me
The yellows gone from me

You can wake up one morning
And there is no getting back
All the things you were dreaming
Are like a tombstone on your back
I only tell the truth
When I'm half tied
Things ain't been the same
Since my mother died

Double cross your heart
Stick a needle in your eye
My glass is half empty
And I cant tell you why
But certain songs will always
Make me cry
Things ain't been the same
Since my mother died
