High Grass & Mermaids Lyrics by Joseph Valenté

2020

I played in high grass in spring time
Watching the mermaids all float
Memories of Mississippi
Doesn’t feel so long ago
I cry for my inner child
Forcing him to grow adult
Everyone’s pretending happy
Getting through life blowing smoke
I played in high grass in spring time
Shaping the clouds in the sky
Creating lives with my daydreams
Wanting much more but now I
I miss the high grass in spring time
Getting caught in spider webs
Teasing the sun for retreating
The moon sees the world through my lens
I had to cut down some grasses
Because I could feel the snakes
I took them home in a basket
Some for decor some I ate
I miss my time with the mermaids
Watching the sun run so far
Chasing it through all high grass
Back when my body was pure
There’s no high grass in the city
Where do the mermaids commune
I drift my thoughts from the mountains
Nyamwezi man of the moon
I was brought up in Chicago
I’ve made a home in New York
I tried my luck in the sunshine
Beverly Hills was a bore
I played in high grass in spring time
I must see grass of the world
Creating steps with my mind’s eye
Leaving my fear at the shore
No cries for my inner child (x3)
Don’t cry for my inner child
No cries for my inner child (x4)
