Elvis Costello - Green Song Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • (feat. Anne Sofie Von Otter)
  • Fine rain was falling on the gravel and glades.
  • The last rays of September bejewelled broken blades.
  • But there's someone that I long for.
  • Oh, where have you been?
  • As the red earth lies under a covering of green.
  • Do you trip on the city's golden gutters and kerbs?
  • As the seasons grow wild and the ground undisturbed.
  • `Till you find what you are now
  • Is less than you've been;
  • As the red earth lies under a covering of green.
  • Is patience exhausted?
  • Are your pockets picked clean?
  • I was lost in the next world
  • Or somewhere in between.
  • And it's much as predicted,
  • They go down that same track.
  • They say they'll return
  • But they never come back.
  • Fine rain was falling on the gravel and glades.
  • The lest rays of September bejewelled broken blades.
  • Are you still restless'
  • Or are you serene?
  • As the red earth lies under just a covering of green.
