Let Your Love Grow Tall

  • In pastures blue and green
    I'll follow you and you'll follow me
    My fabrics mystery
    I'll wave your loyalty in the freezing
    Breeze so desperately

    And another one comes down
    And another one comes down
    And another one comes down

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

    And another one comes down
    And another one comes down
    And another one comes down

    They'd 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 skies telling lies?

    But it's the thought that counts
    Quiet minds don't know their worth
    They know what to do
    So I'll pray for them and I'll pray for you
    Till my face turns blue

    And another one comes down
    And another one comes down
    And another one comes down

    They'd 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 skies telling lies? Writer/s: MICHAEL ANGELAKOS
