"Brown Grass" lyrics - GREGORY PORTER

Brown grass
On the other side
Nothing but brown grass
Now I'm open wide
To the truth I left behind
Her love is so hard to find

Now I find myself
Falling down on brown grass
Now I find myself
Rolling 'round on brown grass

Brown grass
On the other side
Nothing but brown grass
Now I made a mess
Of the life I had with you
In search of something new

Now I find myself
Falling down on brown grass
Now I find myself
Rolling 'round on brown grass
Why didn't I know that she was essential part of me
I thought that I needed to find me and I needed to be free
Why didn't I know that she was all that I would ever need
I looked at the distant view and thought it was for me

But now I know
It was just brown grass
On the other side
Nothing but brown grass

Now I'm open wide
To the truth I left behind
Her love is so hard to find

Now I find myself falling down on brown grass
Now I find myself rolling 'round on brown grass

Why didn't I know that she was essential part of me
I thought that I needed to find me and I needed to be free
Why didn't I know that she was all that I would ever need
I looked at the distant view and thought it was for me

But now I know
It was just brown grass
On the other side
Nothing but brown grass

Now I'm open wide
To the truth I left behind
Her love is so hard to find

Now I find myself falling down on brown grass
Now I find myself rolling 'round on brown grass
Now I find myself falling down on brown grass
