As Long As The Grass Will Grow Lyrics - Miller Bill

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

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

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

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

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

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

And 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 

CHORUS: 

But as long as the grass will grow 

In the cracks of the sidewalk 

Next to the old lampposts 

As long as the birds will fly 

In the thick broken air against a highrise sky 

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 

The heartbeat of the homeless still echoes in the streets 

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

CHORUS
