Mary Ellen's Greenhouse

One, he grabs a guitar, another claims a drum
One, he finds a bass now, who’s the face to say the words we play along
Chasin' ghosts down the road and 'cross the yard
Sometimes it’s hard to find your song
One, he sits and smokes a pipe, another to and fro
Back and forth he cussed us and done said, «You know what we all need?
«A cool drink and somethin' warm to eat»
We tap our feet, sweet honey mead
Something’s growin' in the greenhouse
Louder than a church bell and higher than you care to sing along
There’s a lot of love in Mary Ellen’s greenhouse
Won’t you look at all we’ve grown
The years go by two-at-a-time, the days go by for days
The feeling’s for the moment and we only hope they stay along with old friends
I’ve been blessed beyond belief with folks I know
Like Al and Joe; boys, how’ve you been?
Something’s growin' in the greenhouse
Louder than a church bell and higher than you care to sing along
There’s a lot of love in Mary Ellen’s greenhouse
Won’t you look at all we’ve grown
Lookin' back from time-to-time, mostly forward now
The present is a gift and if we lift it up somehow I know we’ll all heal
Let the music take your prayers toward the sky
Let 'em fly towards somethin' real
Something’s growin' in the greenhouse
Louder than a church bell and higher than you care to sing along
It’s been a long time since Mary Ellen’s greenhouse
Won’t you look at all we’ve grown
Yea, there’s a lot of love in Mary Ellen’s greenhouse
Won’t you look at all we’ve grown
