Grass Grows Greener

from A Time and a Place by Lew Bear

/

about

A happy little ditty about how your views may change through life, recorded in a field (that was half green grass, half brown) next to the River Nene, near Chapel Brampton

lyrics

People would say when I was a lad
Why so glum why so sad
You’ve got your whole life ahead of you
And worries and fears well you have few
And I said

Chorus
The grass it grows greener on the other side
The grass grows greener on the other side
The sun is high and the water’s wide
Where the grass grows greener on the other side

People would say when I was young
Don’t mess around don’t have too much fun
But I had the itchiest feet in town
And I never ever ever want to settle down
So I said

Chorus

People would say in middle age
Don’t you feel trapped and in a cage
I said no I did it all when in my prime
Now it’s you singing my old rhyme
And they said

Chorus

People do say now that I’m old
How are you so fearless and so bold
Of the end, of death, everyone fear
But you have grown more careless through the years
And I said

Chorus
