Lyrics: Sandy Denny. Whispering Grass.

Why do you whisper, green grass?
Why tell the trees what ain't so?
Whispering grass
The trees don't have to know

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
'Cos she will tell the birds and bees
And everyone will know
Because you told them once before

Yes, you told them once before
It's no secret anymore

Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'Cos the trees don't need to know?

Now don't you tell it to the breeze
'Cos she will tell the birds and bees
And everyone will know
Because you told them once before

Yes, you told them once before
It's no secret anymore

Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'Cos the trees don't need to know

Sandy Denny
