Little Green Men

Joni Mitchell - Little Green

Born with the moon in Cancer

Choose her a name she\'ll answer too

Call her green and the winters can not fade her

Call her green for the children who have made her

Little, green, be a gypsy dancer

He went to California

Hearing that everything\'s warmer there

So you write him a letter, say, \"her eyes are blue\"

He sends you a poem and she\'s lost to you

Little, green, he\'s a non-comformer

Just a little green

Like the color when the spring is born

There\'ll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow

Just a little green

Like the night\'s when the Northern lights perform

There\'ll be icicles and birthday clothes

And sometimes there\'ll be sorrow

Child with a child pretending

Weary of lies you\'re sending home

So you sign all the papers in the family name

You\'re sad and you\'re sorry but you\'re not ashamed

Little green, have a happy ending

Just a little green

Like the color when the spring is born

There\'ll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow

Just a little green

Like the night\'s when the Northern lights perform

There\'ll be icicles and birthday clothes

And sometimes there\'ll be sorrow
