I've had to think up a way to survive
Since you said it's over told me goodbye
I just can't make it one day without you
Unless I pretend that the opposite's true

Rivers flow backwards valleys are high
Mountains are level truth is a lie
I'm perfectly fine and I don't miss you
The sky is green and the grass is blue
[ fiddle - dobro ]
How much can a heart and a troubled mind take
Where is that fine line before it all breaks
Can one end their sorrow just cross over it
And into that realm of insanitive bliss

There's snow in the tropics there's ice on the sun
It's hot in the Arctic and crying is fun
And I'm happy now and I'm glad we're through
And the sky is green and the grass is blue

And the rivers flow backwards and my tears are dry
Swans hate the water and eagles can't fly
But I'm alright now now that I'm over you
And the sky is green and the grass is blue
And I don't love you and the grass is blue
