Misery of Green Lyric Part 2/Maggie's Journal/Valerie SmithAdded:
Had a [music] baby due any day.
No place [music] for my child to lay.
>> [music] >> A hot long summer's gone.
>> [music] >> A prison with no breeze, no escape, no way to leave.
>> [music] >> My home was a field of corn. Misery, [music] my misery of green.
>> [music] >> Endless rows covered up my dreams.
Red [music] clay for a floor, canvas for a door.
Misery, my misery [music] of green.
>> [music]
