lyrics

Moment of Green
Words & Music by Joanna Chapman-Smith

Chorus:
A moment of Green,
That’s how we could come to think of them
A moment of Green, whoa

Verse 1:
Riding rubber over
the linear trails with no breeze in our hair
The soundscape just air
Rushing over, rushing over engines
And maybe a radio
Streaks of white and yellow
Blaze beneath us, blaze beneath us
As moments of green
Blink forever on the periphery

Chorus:
A moment of Green,
That’s how we could come to think of them
A moment of Green, whoa

Verse 2:
And I think of
All the big ones I’ve never seen
And I think of
My country sitting secondhand smoking
And we kill them tree by tree

Verse 3:

And I think of my friends
Who wait for love to come to them
They take on lovers
But only speak with their friends
And I grow afraid every time I don’t
Fall in love again
When I can’t hold onto the spark
And I think, “If we’re not careful, we could lose this, too”
And the green barely peeks through

Chorus:
A moment of Green,
That’s how we could come to think of them
A moment of Green, whoa
A moment of Green, Lahoo...
A moment of Green, whoa
