Rings Of Grass Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(S. Silverstein) 

Rings of grass, crowns of flowers 

Gone, gone, gone, gone 

Furs that are woven of whispering hours 

Gone, gone, gone, gone 

She's gone away where the rings are real 

And the furs have a warmth that a woman can feel 

And 'round and 'round, around goes the wheel 

And she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone 

Rings of grass, crowns of flowers 

Gone, gone, gone, gone 

Castles of sand with seashell towers 

Gone, gone, gone, gone 

She's gone away where the dreams are small 

But the castles are rock and they never fall 

And left me here to live among all 

That is gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone 

Rings of grass why do they die away? 

Gone, gone, gone, gone 

Whispering hours where do they fly away? 

Gone, gone, gone, gone 

And where's the wisdom to understand 

That years will crumble all castles of sand 

And the flowers and grass turn brown in our hands 

When it's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
