In the Green Wild

Lyrics

[Verse 1] City shoes found ways down green, fertile valleys I never could fall straight in line so sure Someone with a thing to say Writes on a leaf and lets it fall onto my feet [Verse 2] "Ta-ra-la, ta-ra-la, ta!" I receive the news so small a child who cannot understand I can't hear, and I don't know And the wind slows down, and still a tree's a tree [Verse 3] So calm, and for a moment, it makes sense But the tree says, "Wa, wa." And the language is strange, the woman's "wa, wa." "Wa, wa." And the language is strange, the woman's "wa, wa." [Pre-Chorus] Am I too bored to understand? Well, good, I'm done (I'm done) Off to the wild for me [Chorus 1] In the green wild I am gone (In the green wild I am gone) My hands, toes, shoulders gone But the shoes my feet have worn still remain (My hands, toes, shoulders gone) And they walk toward the sea (But the shoes my feet have worn) There's a flavor to the sound of walking (Still remain) No one ever noticed before In the green wild I am gone (And they walk toward the sea) My hands, toes, shoulders gone But the shoes my feet have worn still remain (There's a flavor to the sound of walking) And they walk toward the sea (No one ever noticed before) There's a flavor to the sound of walking No one ever noticed before In the green wild I am gone (In the green wild I am gone) My hands, toes, shoulders gone But the shoes my feet have worn still remain (My hands, toes, shoulders gone) And they walk toward the sea (But the shoes my feet have worn) There's a flavor to the sound of walking (Still remain) No one ever noticed before [Bridge] Ooh, hoo-ooh-hoo-ooh Ooh-ooh [Chorus 2] There's a humor in the way they walk Even a flower walks But doesn't look for me It walks just as it's grown It's laughing so naturally "Ha-ha-ha-ha." "Ha-ha-ha-ha." There's a humor in the way they walk Even a flower walks But doesn't look for me It walks just as it's grown It's laughing so naturally "Ha-ha-ha-ha." "Ha-ha-ha-ha." [Outro] The way they walk, the way they walk In the green wild gone There's a humor in the way they walk (The way they walk, the way they walk) Even a flower walks (In the green wild gone) But doesn't look for me (The way they walk, the way they walk) (In the green wild gone) It walks just as it's grown (The way they walk, the way they walk) It's laughing so naturally (In the green wild)
