歌詞

Two leaves of mint, one water glass

The greenest kind of cold

I picked it by the kitchen step

Where mint runs wild and free

It costs exactly nothing

And it saves the night for me

One breath of green and suddenly

The dark's a garden too

Awake, O north wind, says the song

And blow upon my green

Two mint leaves in a water glass

Make evenings taste this clean

I set it on the windowsill

Beside my sleepy head

So summer's coolest little smell

Can guard me in my bed

I roll a leaf between my fingers

Just to hear it speak

Awake, O north wind, says the song

And blow upon my green

Two mint leaves in a water glass

Make evenings taste this clean

The mint patch never asks for much

Some rain, a little sun

It spends the whole hot summer saving

Coolness for everyone

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Awake, O north wind, says the song

And blow upon my green

Two mint leaves in a water glass

Make evenings taste this clean

Awake, O north wind, says the song

And blow upon my green

Two mint leaves in a water glass

Make evenings taste this clean

Two leaves of mint, one water glass

Goodnight comes greener now
