GREENHOUSE GIRL

Alone I walk past you
But have nothing to say
I dare not raise my head to look at your
(oh!) Face
You ask me where I'm heading
I point to the ocean
Your surprise seems to give me
(oh!) Praise
You ask me where I'm heading
I point to the ocean

You lead me into your greenhouse
I am intoxicated by the fragrance
And without realizing it I forget my
(oh!) Destination
You say that I am the strongest in the world
I say you are the kindest in the world
And gradually the flower and I become
(oh!) One
You say that I am the strongest in the world
I say you are the kindest in the world

You want me to stay here
You want me to be like them
I look at you and silently say that's
(oh!) Impossible
I wish I could return to that old place
I wish I could walk down that old road
But only then do I realize I can't leave you
(oh!) Girl
I will return to that old place
I will walk down that old road
Even though I'm sure I can't leave you
(oh!) Girl
