Long Daddy Green歌词

Long daddy green is an old old friend
He hangs around the rainbows end
Dealing out dreams from a potful of fortune and fame
Fanning the flames
Hear him calling your name
Long daddy green is a fly by night
You turn around, he's out of sight
Seems he's your fair weather friend and your foul weather foe
The wind starts to blow
Daddy green starts to go
The lies he tells are new to you
You're not naive
You know he won't be true to you
Still you believe, you believe
Long daddy green chops you down to size
With slow hellos and fast goodbyes
He comes around when you feel about 10 feet tall
To make you feel small
Just like nothing at all
Long daddy green is a heartless host
Ignores you when you need him most
Likes to pretend he's hard to get next to guy
He'll give you the eye
While waving goodbye
Long daddy green likes to hypnotize
And melt you with his magic eyes
Knows he can make you believe you are the only one
He'll show you the sun
Then grab it and run
You try to tuck his sleeve one day
Your hopes are high
You turn around and walk away
But still you try, still you try
Long daddy green likes to disappear
Pretend that he is nowhere near
Then he'll come tap at your window and scratch at your screen
He sure can be mean
Long daddy green
He sure can be mean
Long daddy green
