Toward the end of “The Grass” an anguished
voice joins the calming vocals that drive most of the single from Richard
Stirton. In explaining “The Grass,” he said:
"This song is about letting go of bullshit from the past and making relationships as good as they can be. Life is nothing without the people we love. Listen, forgive and love. Move forward with every intention of making your relationships as good as they can be."
Richard Stirton is an Indie Folk artist from South Africa. He

Lyrics of “The Grass” by
Richard Stirton
Slowly through the grass you walked
Never giving up
You talked a good game
Yeah, you talked a good game
Before we learned how to crawl
Slipping by the years like wasted spare change
Did any value remain?
If winter came before the fall
It would have made sense why the trees looked that way
Watered roots she exclaimed
See if you over water the roots they lose touch over time
But if you had another would you have seen eye-to-eye?
If we were to go
Back to the start
Would you still want me
Knowing who you are?
If we lit a fire
In the broken and dark
And brought into vision
Everything we pulled apart
Oh my my my my
Oh my my
Don’t you want more?
Don’t you want more?
[Repeat]
The shadow of a broken frame
Move toward the light
But it stood in the way
Never willing to change
See flying is a way to fight
Playing for a change to break the old ways
The old years feel like days
Skin upon the smallest light
Could it be the way that he wrote in his mind?
What is wrong became right
See if you over water the roots
they lose touch over time
But if you had another would you have seen eye-to-eye?
If we were to go
Back to the start
Would you still want me
Knowing who you are?
If we lit a fire
In the broken and dark
And brought into vision
Everything we pulled apart
Oh my my my my
Oh my my
Don’t you want more?
Don’t you want more?
[Repeating]
Slowly through the grass you walked
Never giving up
You talked a good game
Yeah, you talked a good game
Slipping by the years like wasted spare change
Did any value remain?
It would have made sense why the trees looked that way
Watered roots she exclaimed
See if you over water the roots they lose touch over time
But if you had another would you have seen eye-to-eye?
Back to the start
Would you still want me
Knowing who you are?
In the broken and dark
And brought into vision
Everything we pulled apart
Oh my my
Don’t you want more?
Don’t you want more?
[Repeat]
Move toward the light
But it stood in the way
Never willing to change
Playing for a change to break the old ways
The old years feel like days
Could it be the way that he wrote in his mind?
What is wrong became right
But if you had another would you have seen eye-to-eye?
Back to the start
Would you still want me
Knowing who you are?
In the broken and dark
And brought into vision
Everything we pulled apart
Oh my my
Don’t you want more?
Don’t you want more?
[Repeating]
