When I was young When I was home Among the pines The forest floor I feel the dirt I feel the flowers I'd feel the rain I'd feel the wind What I miss is the stars The stars in L.A. disappear My sanctuary never here Send a love note to the green To the stars Back to the pines A forest floor Though it will fall Like diamond The rain will dance Like paper glass No young romance Would be this grand A tree falls in a city Will people stop to listen? While they sleep I'll be dreaming Always had trouble sleeping Dreaming of the stars The stars in New York disappear My sanctuary never here Send a love note to the green To the stars I stain my shirt With caffeine heart I lit a match A forest fire I burn the thoughts I try to grow up The lake water pours from my bones But instead The stars in Vegas disappear My sanctuary never here Send your love note to the green Send my letter out through the breeze And the stars And the stars And the stars And the stars
