And The Green, Green Grass of Home: Then I awake and look around me, at the four grey walls that surround me and I realize, yes, I was only dreaming. For there’s a guard and there’s a sad old padre - arm in arm we’ll walk at daybreak. Again I touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they’ll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree as they lay me neath the green, green grass of home. ---
