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
