lyrics

Keep Off the Grass (lyrics by Paul Levinson, 1966)

Your flowers dance in the breeze
Seem to beckon for love
And I'd more than like to please
But I can't get close enough

(chorus)
Your sign says keep off the grass
No strangers allowed on these grounds
Your sign says keep of the grass
There's no trespassing allowed

The soft young branches of your trees
reach for someone to hold
I could make that someone me
but you'd say I was too bold

(chorus)

When winter comes and you're alone
Trees all empty and bare
Flowers withered, cold winds blowin'
You'll wish that I was there, but

(chorus)
Your sign said ...
