Whispering Grass (Don't Tell the Trees)

Why do you whisper, green grass?

Why tell the trees what ain't so?

Whispering grass, the trees don't have to know

No, no

Why tell them all your secrets?

Who kissed there long ago?

Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know

Don't you tell it to the breeze

'Cause she will tell the birds and bees

And everyone will know because you told the blabbering trees

Yes, you told them once before

It's no secret any more

Why tell them all the old things?

They're buried under the snow

Whispering grass, don't tell the trees

'Cause the trees don't need to know

Don't you tell it to the breeze

'Cause she'll run and tell it to the birds and bees

And everyone will know because you told the blabbering trees

Yes, you did, you told them once before

So that's why it ain't no secret any more

Why tell them all the old things?

They're buried under the snow

Whispering grass, don't tell the trees

'Cause the trees don't need to know
