GORDON LIGHTFOOT - Bitter Green lyrics
rate meUpon the bitter green she walked the hills above the town<br>Echo to her footsteps as soft as eider down<br>Waiting for her master to kiss away her tears<br>Waiting through the years<br>Bitter green they called her<br>Walking in the sun<br>Loving everyone that she met<br>Bitter green they called her<br>Waiting in the sun<br>Waiting for someone to take her home<br><br>Some say he was a sailor who died away at sea<br>Some say he was a prisoner who never was set free<br>Lost upon the ocean he died there in the mist<br>Dreaming of her kiss<br><br>Bitter green they called her<br>Walking in the sun<br>Loving everyone that she met<br>Bitter green they called her<br>Waiting in the sun<br>Waiting for someone to take her home<br><br>But now the bitter green is gone, the hills have turned to rust<br>There comes a weary stranger, his tears fall in the dust<br>Kneeling by the churchyard in the autumn mist<br>Dreaming of a kiss<br><br>Bitter green they called her<br>Walking in the sun<br>Loving everyone that she met<br>Bitter green they called her<br>Waiting in the sun<br>Waiting for someone to take her home
