Sweet Green Peas opening for The Hummingbees
With a bright blue brand new flower and a stem like trees
Warm open place carrying smiles and sharing lace
With the dancing swans and hopping frogs making playful chase

Don't you worry little seed
We are all aware of what you need
And I'm certain soon your roots will grow
Already we have told the trees
And we punctuated with a please
They are waiting for your name to know
Will you grow now?
Will you grow?
(Just a little bit of water and a song ow wow wow wow wow)
Don't you worry little seed
I will bring you everything you need
Will you grow now that you have been sown?
Will you grow now?
Will you grow?

I Race Away With Time
01:54

My reason's all untied
Seasons running wild
Feeling just like a child
I race away with time
Decent I go to chime
Words now that seem to rhyme
Leaving my own design
I race away with time

Who do you know that is patient
Enough for me to paint?
Is she a straight-pin or
Is she a little more oblate?
Dit dit dit, dit dit dit, dit dit
Dit dit, dit dit dit
Who has the dedication
To sit still and wait?
Will she be blatant or
Will she have to say?

Raining Song

Our friends on the ground
Swept off and all around
To who knows where
If they come back to the lawn
We'll sing a welcome song
But who knows when
Bow wup buh ba na na
Bow wup buh ba na na na na
Bow wup buh ba na na
Bow wow wow wow wow
Oh what a sound
When the lightning hit the ground
And it scattered in the air
A silly thing to say
That rain ruins a day
What do we care

I Love Looking Around

Be it up or down, you'll know you've turned round
A neat, familiar tune
I love looking around and finding what I can
That's new... new...
All of it is overmade
I feel the bleak constraints are reaching to my view

We Went Away

Here in the forest they're friendly
They treat me the best they can
My darling blue flower is with me
I've come here to hold her hand
But when at last comes the day
I've nothing to say
It seems a waste
And I
Worry now it's too late
How long could she stay
Ought I to wait
Ought I to wait
Near to the forest she met me
I told her about the band
Though often they play strangely
I hoped she could withstand
But when the violin played
Her attention strayed
Away from all
The sound
Not to avoid the cliche
I hid my dismay
We went away
We went away
Deep in the forest a clearing
Little was left to say
We found each other endearing
In rosemary bush we lay
But in the distance I heard
The singing of birds
The concert play
And I
Agonizingly deferred
One final word
I went away
I went away

Now what is makin'
Makin' your life
Nobody's runnin'
Ridin' to you
Now what is takin'
Takin' your life
Nobody's lovin
Lying to you
(it only matters what you)
Make yourself something you'd like to see
Take yourself away from everybody

As Long As She's Fine
02:21

Outbound, makin the rounds
They stop by and listen
Enjoying the crowd
Brown gown, pulling it down
She rolled in the mud
Fooling around
Show off, playin too rough
She had her chance
But sure enough
Big bluff, makin it up
Looking for excuses
And in the buff
Downtime, covered in grime
Let her rest a little
Before she has to climb
No crime, let out a bime
Everyone is happy
As long as she's fine

Happy Giant Friends
03:47

Let's sing into the setting sun
So he may come again
Night is just as fine for some
But I prefer the day
Now it seems the light is leaving
Where then would it go?
Quickly now the time's depleting
Moonlight let us know
Sun and Moon did bicker then
They could not agree
Sun would not hear it again
He let Moon keep the sea
Sing the moon to meet the Sun
And think of way back when
Two were often seen as one
Happy giant friends
(Scatting)
Now it seems the night is leaving
Sun's an ear to bend
Come the day we will be pleading
Arguments to end
Moon did all she could do then
Now she patiently
Hopes our message well to send
And that he will agree
Let's sing into the rising sun
So they may meet again
Call the argument all done
And gladly make amends

In all the years that we've been here
Never before was such peace beheld
And the purity and innocence of the animal brain
Never again such loving tears could swell
Farewell to you, and forgiveness we beg
For hard as we try, there's nothing we can do

Green grow the lilacs all sparklin with dew
I'm lonely my darlin since parting from you
By our next meeting I hope to prove true
And change the green lilacs to the orange and blue
I used to have a sweetheart but now I have none
Since she has left me I care not for one
Since she has left me contented I'll be
She loves another one better than me
I passed my love's window both early and late
The look that she gave me, it made my heart ache
The look that she gave me was painful to see
She loves another one better than me
I wrote my love letters in rosy red lines
She sent me an answer all twisted in twine
Sayin "Keep your love letters, I will keep mine
Just write to your love and I'll write to mine"
Green grow the lilacs all sparklin with dew
I'm lonely my darlin since parting from you
By our next meeting our love will renew
And change the green lilacs to the orange and blue
