Jim Page - Green Tea Of Your Mind

The rain in the morning, the bright afternoon
The days of our lives that are over too soon
The ripples of incident rise up and fall
There’s so much to know, you can’t measure it all

Away to the city somewhere there to find
A way out of this great big impossible bind
An old man with a dog, a woman in a chair
You never know what you'll find till you get there

(Chorus)
The eyes of tomorrow, the arrow of time
If you can’t take it with you, you leave behind
Like a jewel in the ocean awash in the brine
As seen through the green tea of your mind

She said if “I could just get up away and fly
I’d write my name like a bird in the sky”
He said “the sky isn’t big enough for what you have to say
And you speak your own language anyway”

It was a good town for music and they found a little bar
Where there were people in the mix, and whisky in the jar
Where the music was medicine for the way that you feel
And maybe that’s how we all have to heal

(Chorus)

Some people have everything laid out on a platter
Some people don’t care and what does it matter
You face up to your burden or you turn tail and run
It’s the hand that you’re dealt and everyone gets one

You did a lot of drinkin’ in your way back when
And one of these days you might do it again
But for now its the green tea that suits you just right
Away in the morning, good luck and good night

(Chorus)
