I Swallowed The Raindrops

[Verse 1]
I saw the green falling back to sleep
Dreaming things for our children yet to be
And hollow faces worn with age in me
Turn away to younger days and weep

[Chorus 1]
And I swallowed the raindrops
And I followed the same thought

[Verse 2]
I felt some fate come tugging on my veins
A heavy weight reaching to my brain
Of petty things, the storing up of grains
Learned to see the green increasing every gain

[Chorus 2]
And I swallowed the raindrops
And I followed the same thought
It's tragic, this greatness is a fragile oasis

[Instrumental Outro]
