In pastures blue and green
I'll follow you and you'll follow me
My fabric's mystery
I'll wave your loyalty in the freezing breeze so desperately

Oh and another [bad word] down
another [bad word] down
another [bad word] down

I think I see my life
He bows all slyly and gentle-like
He's never had the right
But I've never lived without his sad and jealous eyes

Oh and another [bad word] down
another [bad word] down
another [bad word] down

They say "Let your love grow tall"
"Let your love grow tall"
Tall as the grass in the meadow?
Or the dunes on the shore?
Like the buildings in the city?
And your children on the floor?

It's the thought that counts
No, quiet minds don't know their worth
They know now what to do
So I'll pray for them
And I'll pray for you till my face turns blue

Oh and another [bad word] down
another [bad word] down
another [bad word] down

They say "Let your love grow tall"
"Let your love grow tall"
Tall as the grass in the meadow?
Or the dunes on the shore?
Like the buildings in the city?
And your children on the floor?
Like the darkness in the forest?
Like my frightened worried eyes?
Or the roots in the soil?
Are these skies telling lies?
