The Notturno of Green Island - Zhao Peng

The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train There to meet me is my mama and papa Down the lane I look and there runs Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherry It's good to touch the green green grass of home The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry There's the old oak tree that I used to play on Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherry It's so good to touch the green green grass of home Yes, they'll all come to meet me arms outreached smiling sweetly It's so good to touch the green green grass of home Then I awake and look around me at the four gray walls that surround me And I realized that I was only dreaming For there's a guard and there's that sad old padre Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak And again I'll touch the green green grass of home Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree And they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home

As the nightmare ends Carry me, change my hope As the daylight ends It will never be like before Carry me when I'm alone But you drag on me down when I fall If you ever leave me, Don't forget to close the door Let me be my own prisoner You can't escape the room If you ever leave me, Don't forget to close the door Let me be my own prisoner You can't escape the room As the pain life fades Sinking deeper again As the life blood drains Turning my heart to stone Carry me when I'm alone But you're dragging me down when I fall If you ever leave me, Don't forget to close the door Let me be my own prisoner You can't escape the room If you ever leave me, Don't forget to close the door Let me be my own prisoner You can't escape the room If you ever leave me, Don't forget to close the door Let me be my own prisoner You can't escape the room If you ever leave me, Don't forget to close the door Let me be my own prisoner You can't escape the room

Let me go, like, where are you? Got lost for a second, like, where you gone? I been watchin' the things that you do I've seen the way you moving out Let me go, like, where are you? Never felt so far down before (down before) And, yeah, I know, like, this shit ain't new Another day, another prayer I want you to help me through But it wouldn't be fair on you I still don't know what's up with me I'm constantly just battling in my mind Yeah, I'm in my mind Sayin' things, but I ain't comin' through Only letting myself down Get confused and start acting a fool Gotta chase the dogs up out the way It's too easy to get lost in you Forget my worries and them highs But essentially, I'm using you As a way through it all It's complicated, I'm up, and I'm down Yeah, I know that it's long And right now I know it's better to just be here on my ones I never planned to catch feelings But shit, baby, what can I say? All I can do is be honest Ain't trying to play no games I want you to help me through But it wouldn't be fair on you I still don't know what's up with me I'm constantly just battling in my mind Yeah, I'm in my mind Mind, mind Mind, mind
