lyrics

Lyrics:
Going from love to locked doors ain’t easy,
But pretty soon I’ll be cutting crooked teeth into new keys, yea
And the midnight fog of our lost love will be lifted by morrow’s rays
In the morning light, I’ll be marching on to brighter days

I was lost, but now I’m found
Used to sing sad songs now happy tunes come pouring out my mouth
Funny how when I was down and out, didn’t think I would turn it around
But I know now, the grass is greener after rain comes pouring down

I tried everything to forget about you
But I sang sad songs so I still got the blues
Then I turned on that Motown, those James Brown Soul tunes
Well he turned me around, gave me back my crown, said “Don’t play the fool, no.”

I was lost, but now I’m found
Used to sing sad songs now happy tunes come pouring out my mouth
Funny how when I was down and out, didn’t think I would turn it around
But I know now, the grass is greener after rain comes pouring down

The grass is greener where you water it
The grass is greener where you water it
The grass is greener where you water it
The grass is greener where you water it

I was lost, but now I’m found
Used to sing sad songs now happy tunes come pouring out my mouth
Funny how when I was down and out, didn’t think I would turn it around
But I know now, the grass is greener after rain comes pouring down
