Long daddy green is an old old friend He hangs around the rainbows end Dealing out dreams from a potful of fortune and fame Fanning the flames Hear him calling your name Long daddy green is a fly by night You turn around, he's out of sight Seems he's your fair weather friend and your foul weather foe The wind starts to blow Daddy green starts to go The lies he tells are new to you You're not naive You know he won't be true to you Still you believe, you believe Long daddy green chops you down to size With slow hellos and fast goodbyes He comes around when you feel about 10 feet tall To make you feel small Just like nothing at all Long daddy green is a heartless host Ignores you when you need him most Likes to pretend he's hard to get next to guy He'll give you the eye While waving goodbye Long daddy green likes to hypnotize And melt you with his magic eyes Knows he can make you believe you are the only one He'll show you the sun Then grab it and run You try to tuck his sleeve one day Your hopes are high You turn around and walk away But still you try, still you try Long daddy green likes to disappear Pretend that he is nowhere near Then he'll come tap at your window and scratch at your screen He sure can be mean Long daddy green He sure can be mean Long daddy green
