Elvis Costello – Green Song Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: For The Stars [With Anne Sofie Von Otter]

(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?
[ Green Song lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elvis-costello/green-song/ ]
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.
