COOL AND GREEN AND SHADY
(John Denver / Joe Henry)

John Denver - 1974



 
Saturdays, holidays, easy afternoons
Lazy days, summer days, nothin' much to do
Rainy days are better days for hangin' out inside
Grainy days and city ways make me wanna hide
Some place cool and green and shady

Find yourself a piece of grassy ground
Lay down, close your eyes
Find yourself and maybe lose yourself
While your free spirit flies

(Instrumental Break)

Find yourself a piece of grassy ground
Lay down, close your eyes
Find yourself and maybe lose yourself
While your free spirit flies

August skies, lullabies, promises to keep
Dandelions and twisting vines, clover at your feet
Memories of Aspen leaves trembling on the wind
Honeybees and fantasies, where to start again

Some place cool and green and shady
Cool and green and shady
Cool and green and shady
Cool and green and shady
Cool and green and shady
Cool and green and shady
Cool and green and shady.....FADE
