Whispering Grass
Windsor Davies Lyrics

You promised me, green grass, not to tell what you heard.
Green grass, you made a promise to me not to reveal what you heard.

Whispering Grass, say! you can't keep your word, keep your word.
Even though you're whispering, Green grass, you're breaking your promise.

Why do you whisper, green grass?
Green grass, why are you whispering?

Why tell the trees what ain't so ?
Why are you telling lies to the trees?

Whispering Grass, the trees don't have to know.
Green grass, the trees don't need to know what you're whispering.

No, No, Why tell them all your secrets?
Don't tell the trees all your secrets, Green grass.

Who kissed there long ago?
Who kissed there a long time ago?

Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know.
The trees don't need to know, Green grass.

Don't you tell it to the breeze 'cause she will tell the birds and bees
Don't even tell the breeze, Green grass, because she's a big chatterbox and will tell everyone.

And ev'ryone will know because you told the blabbering trees
Everyone will find out because you told the trees, Green grass.

Yes, you told them once before; It's no secret any more.
You already told the trees before, Green grass, so it's not a secret anymore.

Why tell them all the old things?
Why are you telling the trees old news?

They're buried under the snow.
It's all in the past now, Green grass.

Whispering Grass, don't tell the trees 'Cause the trees don't need to know.
Green grass, please don't tell the trees anything because they don't need to know.

Why tell them all your secrets?
Don't tell the trees all your secrets, Green grass.

Who kissed there long ago?
Who kissed there a long time ago?

Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know.
The trees don't need to know, Green grass.
