Bitter Green lyrics

Upon the bitter green she walked the hills above her town Echoed to her footsteps, as soft as eiderdown Waiting for her master to kiss away the tears Waiting through the years Bitter green they called her walking in the sun Loving everyone that she met Bitter green they called her waiting in the sun Waiting for someone to take her home Some say he was a sailor who died away at sea Some say he was a prisoner who never was set free Lost upon the ocean, he died there in the mist Dreaming of her kiss Bitter green they called her walking in the sun Loving everyone that she met Bitter green they called her waiting in the sun Waiting for someone to take her home But now the bitter green has gone The hills have turned to rust There comes a weary stranger, his tears fall in the dust Kneeling by the church yard, in the Autumn mist Dreaming of her kiss Bitter green they called her walking in the sun Loving everyone that she met Bitter green they called her waiting in the sun Waiting for someone to take her home Upon the bitter green she walked the hills above her town Echoed to her footsteps, as soft as eiderdown Waiting for her master to kiss away the tears Waiting through the years Bitter green they called her walking in the sun Loving everyone that she met Bitter green they called her waiting in the sun Waiting for someone to take her home
