Brass Buttons
words and music by
gram parsons

brass buttons,
green silks and silver shoes
warm evenings, pale mornings,
bottle of blues
and the tiny golden pins
that she wore up in her hair
brass buttons,
green silks and silver shoes

my mind was young until she grew
my secret thoughts known only to a few
it was a dream much too real
to be leaning on too long
oh and all the time she knew

her words still dance inside my head
her comb still lies beside my bed
but the sun comes up without her,
it just doesn’t know she’s gone
and i remember everything she said

brass buttons,
green silks and silver shoes
warm evenings, pale mornings,
bottle of blues
and the tiny golden pins
that she wore up in her hair
brass buttons,
green silks and silver shoes

about

John Greene Music Falmouth, UK

John Greene's music is a reflection of his turbulent, non-conformist life and is based on early rock and roll, the pop explosion of the 60’s, the blues and many things Americana.
Best described as ‘Hard Country’, it lives in the space also occupied by the likes of Neil Young and the Grateful Dead. It always involves his unique viewpoint on the world he has lived in and the troubles we all share.
