Album: Live at the Solid Rock Cafe
Been flirting with disaster
Skirting little too close to the edge
Foolish things I've been chasing after
Have gone and placed the noose 'round my head
Thought they'd bring me pleasure
But I've found out to my discontent
That satisfaction comes in equal measure
With guilt and shame and death in the end
Grass is greener on the other side
So they say, so they say, but I don't trust it
Maybe if you're looking through green glass
But flowers pass, they fade away before you know it
The moments all just fly by so fast
And then they're gone away
Been looking for some greener pasture
Like a wandering sheep, from your side I've strayed
But withered grass is poor cure
For this longing ache, your love I crave
Still my eyes are green with envy
For I've seen the riches of wicked men
Flourish like green trees in summer's safety
Though they'll perish come winter's wind
No, the things of this world
Can't take them with you, they won't last
Just persevere under trial, stand fast
And you'll wear a crown of life
