As Long As The Grass Will Grow Lyrics - Singles - Bill Miller

The last fall of the morning rain drips off the wino's shoes 

He's sleeping in a cardboard tent too drunk to know it's through 

But the rainbow from this morning storm can't be too far behind 

Down his alley where the sun won't shine the blind must lead the blind 

Ten stories up a boy looks out, his face pressed to the screen 

He heard the thunder rolling in, woke him from his dream 

His mother's calling out to him, boy get up and make your bed 

But that kid's a thousand miles away hasn't heard a word she said 

But as long as the grass will grow in the cracks of the sidewalks 

Next to the old lampposts, as long as the birds will fly 

In the thick broken air against a high rise sky 

Then the morning sun will shed it's light on the city down below 

Then the morning sun will shed it's light on the city down below 

Inside a cab, the driver yawns, he's worked an all night shift 

He sets his meter one last time before he call it quits 

And the heartbeat of the homeless still echoes in the streets 

They're all wrapped in coats and blankets, don't have enough to eat
