The Greening Of America by Counting Crows Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's closing all the shades
She finds the daylight just a little frightening
She pulls the petals overhead each day
But she's opening, her business is blooming nightly

[Chorus]
And every time it does, it gets me hazy
The color of her head changing every day
A little breath of wind and I just go crazy
The greening of America's progressing smoothly
'Cause she's choosing me

[Verse 2]
It's later than I said
And all the world's a shade of black and purple
Everybody else has gone to bed
But when she makes me happy, I just fly in circles

[Chorus]
And every time she does, I just get teary
The color of head changing every day
A little puff of wind and she's always near me
The greening of America's progressing nicely
It's alright with me
[Verse 3]
If there's another life
And if I get to choose, I'd like to be a daisy
I'll stay up waiting for my dusky wife
To open and get high with just my jasmine baby

[Chorus]
And every time she does, it gets me crazy
The color of her head changing every day
A little breath of wind and I just get crazy
The greening of America's progressing nicely
It's alright with me

Every time she does, just get teary
The color of her head changing every day
A little breath of wind and she's always near me
The greening of America's progressing smoothly
'Cause she's choosing me
