Whispering Grass Lyrics - Sandy Denny

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 

'cause 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 

'cause the trees don't need to know 

Now don't you tell it to the breeze 

'cause 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 

'cause the trees don't need to know
