[Verse 1]
  Such a woman you have standing there,
  I’m a fool to compare.
  Hands are shaky but I’m not surprised,
  blood stains on my eyes.
 
 
[Verse 2]
  Through my window what a glare I see
  broken windows never bothered me.
  When bruises show they take their time
  but the pain it’s on your mind.

[Chorus]
I feel it’s too late, the grass has turned a lighter shade.
Oh, pa, won't you please bring me back bright colored leaves?
 
[Verse 3]
  Springtime brings about the green amongst the trees,
  a color like her eyes is shining.
  Sunshine swallows every step she leaves behind
  and you got colors on your mind.
 
 
[Verse 4]
  Juniper has come and gone this year,
  soft whispers in my ear.
  Broken promises she swore to keep
  that don't mean a damn to me.
 
 
[Verse 5]
  Like picking daisies off your tongue,
  life's a gamble for you, son.
  But she never stopped to look you in the eye,
  you're a boring kind of lie.

[End-Chorus]
I feel it’s too late, the grass has turned a lighter shade.
Oh, pa, won't you please bring me back bright colored leaves?
