Oh pale green is the day
Cool misty rains and a sunbeam flutter grey
Here in this land where the wild tulips blow
The grass bends its head silently it says you go home alone
Time marches time withers away
These hands clasp you but you drift too far and slip away
Down the stream to the distant waterfalls
Begging the stars to remember the fallen
On the mottled hillside lying low
It's just grass tender ever-knowing oh! Oh!
You can see it in summer on the windblown farm
It whispers to the ground Here's the heart to belong and be gone forevermore
Under the grey skies skies that fade in the deep
Days of childhood and its memories lying asleep
Here and everywhere far and beyond
It's just grass tender and always ever withholding oh! Oh!
Time marches time withers away
These hands clasp you but you drift too far and slip away
Down the stream to the distant waterfalls
Begging the stars to remember the fallen
On the mottled hillside lying low
It's just grass tender ever-knowing oh! Oh!
You can see it in summer on the windblown farm
It whispers to the ground Here's the heart to belong and be gone forevermore
Under the grey skies skies that fade in the deep
Days of childhood and its memories lying asleep
Here and everywhere far and beyond
It's just grass tender and always ever withholding oh! Oh!
Oh pale green is the day
Cool misty rains and a sunbeam flutter grey
Here in this land where the wild tulips blow
The grass bends its head silently it says you go home alone
Time marches time withers away
These hands clasp you but you drift too far and slip away
Down the stream to the distant waterfalls
Begging the stars to remember the fallen
Begging the stars to remember the fallen
