Greener (all the time)

[Nelson]

Hey guys, Here's one inspired by a conversation with a home sick small town girl, having a go at big city life.
It isn't quite the dream, she'd envisioned.

The conversation actually occurs in a short stories, I'm working on.

I'm still working to improve my composing.

Greener (all the time)
by MisterNelson 2013

Verse
Well, how long has it been, since you've known the comfort of a friend?
Your pain won't be denied. It shows in your eyes.
And jealousy is all around, building you up, to tare you down
Another night out on the town; if your friends could see you now.

Chorus  
You couldn't wait to be out on your own but now you can't find your way home.
You say you want to leave all this behind because the grass isn't greener all the time.

Break

Verse
A lonely soul, on a lonely road.                        
And heaven only knows if you'll make it back home.                
(And sometimes you find yourself)                
Screaming out loud, but no one hears the sound.
Strange how life turns around, a moment in the clouds, then you're down.

Chorus  
You couldn't wait to be out on your own but now you can't find your way home.
You say you want to leave all this behind because the grass isn't greener all the time.

Break

Bridge
Is this your dream?     No, this can't be right.    Lost, on a lonely road with no, end in sight.
After many miles of walking, you came upon a sign. Pointing in both directions; you couldn't believe your eyes.

Chorus  
You couldn't wait to be out on your own but now you can't find your way home.
You say you want to leave all this behind because the grass isn't greener all the time.

Nelson, you wrote some of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. And I have listened to a lot of music already! This is another masterpiece. Your singing is amazing. I hate comparisons, but the way you sing, sometimes reminds me of the most inspired and heartfelt moments of Tom Waits.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful music with us!

[Nelson]
