Welcome to the Annotated Tea Leaf Green Songbook

Upgrades coming for 2013! A TEAm of Leafers is working on a redesign to make the site more readable, more fun, and more compatible with Internet Explorer. For now the site looks best in Firefox, Safari, or Chrome! -DG

NEW! March 2011, Code updated. Still trying to make the site work for IE. Good to go in Firefox. Redesign TBA. Code updated again to the latest in February 2013.

March 2010, Site redesign in progress!

January 2009, Tags Archive. New method of categorizing songs and finding common themes. For example, find songs associated with the tag 'travel'.

You’re My Star

mp3 | Print | Tea Leaf Green Lyrics A-Z > You’re My Star | Notes/Corrections?

I always said I’d never write a song for you
Unless you left me alone
Now you’ve done it and I don’t know what to say
I guess I never did anyway

So wherever you are (It’s fine with me)
You can be a star (You’re so shiney)
Shine for me (Open wide)
Blind me (with your pride)
Cuz wherever you are
You’re my star

Cool it down and kick it back, don’t hesitate
Turn around I’m gonna _____
Scream out loud “forgive him God, he’s all yours now”
Scared about the state of mind splitting

There we are (Moving on)
Dissipate (Poof! It’s gone.)
Hang it up (Hanging out)
Never late (Clever girl)
A country song is on
Whoa oh oh whoa whoa. You ___ and ___
You ___ and ___

I said “I love you” everyday
Now you found another way
Now I can finally say I’ve got this song for you baby
Baby

So wherever you are (It’s fine with me)
You can be a star (You’re so shiney)
Shine for me (Open wide)
Blind me (with your pride)
Because wherever you are, you’re my star
You’re my star
You’re my star, you’re my star, you’re my star

Sleep Paralysis

mp3 | Print | Tea Leaf Green Lyrics A-Z > Sleep Paralysis | Notes/Corrections?

I can’t sleep
and neither can you
You know
this bed can fit two
Come to me
Feelings of love
In the dark you can see
We’re both sad and fucked up
I will hold you, hold you, hold you, hold you
I will hold you, hold you, hold you, hold you
Now let it be known
You’re never alone

Gather our dreams
And not be so bad
You can wake me
You can bring me back
And I can find you
And give you my hand
And say it’s alright
It’s just a nightmare you had
And I will hold you, hold you, hold you, hold you
I will hold you, hold you, hold you, hold you
I will hold you, hold you, hold you, hold you
I will hold you, hold you, hold you, hold you
I will hold you, hold you, hold you, hold you
And let it be known
You’re never alone
