"The Greening Of America" lyrics

She's closing all the shades
She finds the daylight just a little frightening
She pulls the petals overhead each day
But she's opening, her business is blooming nightly

And every time it does, it gets me hazy
The color of her head changing every day
A little breath of wind and I just go crazy
The greening of America's progressing smoothly
'Cause she's choosing me

It's later than I said
And all the world's a shade of black and purple
Everybody else has gone to bed
But when she makes me happy, I just fly in circles

And every time she does, I just get teary
The color of head changing every day
A little puff of wind and she's always near me
The greening of America's progressing nicely
It's alright with me

If there's another life
And if I get to choose, I'd like to be a daisy
I'll stay up waiting for my dusky wife
To open and get high with just my jasmine baby

And every time she does, it gets me crazy
The color of her head changing every day
A little breath of wind and I just get crazy
The greening of America's progressing nicely
It's alright with me

Every time she does, just get teary
The color of her head changing every day
A little breath of wind and she's always near me
The greening of America's progressing smoothly
'Cause she's choosing me
