Guy Clark - Shade of All Greens [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
The blackbird she flies wherever she wants to
The mockingbird singing, oh, any old song
And the swallow she’s nesting in the rafters of my house
Summer is coming and the geese are all gone
You got to fly and let fly
Ah, the mower’s broke down and the yard’s run away with me
I've taken to sitting and just watching it grow
And the rabbits are eating like kings in the driveway
And I've just about found me no place to go
You've got to live and let live

[Chorus]
Come sit by my side in the shade of all greens
It smells like the honeysuckle have gone to extremes
And I've found a reason and you've made it rhyme
And we can go crazy, tomorrow’s just fine

[Verse 2]
I'm going to sit on the front porch
Until the lightning bugs show up
And it really gets dark and there’s dogs in the trash
It's the first and the last time all rolled into this time
You make me feel like I just took a bath
You got to laugh and let laugh

[Chorus]

[Outro]
You got to love and let love
And we can go loving any old time
You got to fly and let fly
