"Grass Is Blue" lyrics

"Grass Is Blue"
(originally by Dolly Parton)

I've had to think up a way to survive
Since you said it's over, told me good-bye
I just can't make it, one day without you
Unless I pretend that the opposite's true

Rivers flow backwards
Valleys are high
Mountains are level
Truth is a lie
I'm perfectly fine
And I don't miss you
And the sky is green
And the grass is blue

How much can a heart and a troubled mind take
And where is that fine line before it all breaks
Can one end their sorrow, just cross over it
And into that realm of insensitive bliss

There's snow in the tropics
There's ice on the sun
It's hot in the Arctic
And crying is fun
And I'm happy now
And I'm glad that we're through
And the sky is green
And the grass is blue

And the rivers flow backwards
And my tears are dry
Swans hate the water
And eagles can't fly
But I'm alright now
Now that I'm over you
And the sky is green
And the grass is blue
