My Little Town--- Simon and Garfunkel Tribute

My little town is surrounded with green.
The sound of silence shines through the trees' windows.
Our grass grows higher than a trampoline.
Moss patterns bring laughter between streets' shadows.

The sound of silence shines through the trees' windows.
A most peculiar man stops to listen.
Moss patterns bring laughter between streets' shadows.
Smiling silently, his green eyes glisten.

A most peculiar man stops to listen
to voices of old peoples' fresh perspective.
Smiling silently, his green eyes glisten
because the leaves that are green are reflective

to voices of old peoples' fresh perspective.
If I am a rock, then I am a jade
because the leaves that are green are reflective.
A great effect is kept secret in shade.

If I am a rock then I am a jade.
Our grass grows higher than a trampoline.
A greater effect is kept secret in shade.
My little town is surrounded with green.
