[Verse]
EmLights were dCancing, fBootsteps of a Emmouse
EmOn a pCostage stamp, I saw a pBicture of our new Emhouse
EmRed roof and magnColias, a fBield of olives tEmrees
EmA green River is rCising, Bnearly to my kEmnees

EmRaisin bread and hConey, nBot as sweet as Emyou
EmIf I could tell you a fCortune, would I lBie or would I tell the tEmruth
EmDepending if it bCrought you, to my aBrms or distant sEmhores
EmA green River is rCising, Beven higher than beEmfore
