Bitter Green Lyrics

Bitter Green lyrics

Upon the bitter green she walked the hills above the town

 Echo to her footsteps as soft as Eider down

 Waiting for her master to kiss away her 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 is gone, the hills have turned to rust

 There comes a weary stranger, his tears fall in the dust

 Kneeling by the churchyard in the autumn mist

 Dreaming of a 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
