Rochester

The greener grass starts at

The edge of town

 

And there you'll find a wooden house with windows wide

And porch steps leading down

 

To a meadow before evening casting dust specks

In the sunbeams all around

 

As by the willow tree you walk pulled forward

By the crickets' talk and the water sound

 

Rochester your fields are full of horses in the grasses

You step a little closer as each tender moment passes

You know their skin is breathing and the dust smells of forever

You start to think of leaving but you know that you will never

 

And turning from the road two silhouettes in soft shadow

Against the sky

 

You see them as they're coming down through corridors of dust specks

In the light

 

And as they're moving closer and your blood is flowing faster

You realize

 

That when we come together you will open like a blossom

To a butterfly

 

Rochester your horses know the secrets of the grasses

They learn about forever with each tender shoot that passes

The heat beneath their rippling skin is rising in the twilight

And if we you come together you will open like blossom

To a butterfly

 

Rochester your secret's safe with me

Rochester your secret's safe

Rochester your secret's safe with me

Rochester your secret's safe

Rochester oh Rochester

Oh Rocehseter oh Rochester etc.
