Green For Grief

Lyrics

After fourteen years (Hold her) Of trying night and day (Hold her) She'll fight back joyous tears (Hold her) The odd, clear pregnancy A premature was lost Nine months to the present day The 24th was here, the 25th slipped away The 25th slipped away A headstone to who? He swam, say, twenty yards (Save him) While we played volleyball (Save him) With all that going on (Save him) How could you hear one call? (Save him) And as we stood knee-deep We couldn't see anything All we could do was weep We couldn't see anything A colored man sang his hymn I said: "Save your hymns" Green for grief The eye is green It's seen more than it wants to It's seen more than it wants It's seen more than it wants to see It crashed him from behind (Metal) The carriage left its tracks (Against) It then rolled down the bank (Flash) All of them were trapped (Pain) The tide was out But luck was in, in the form of mud It broke his leg But still, still life never moves again Still life never moves Still life never moves Green for grief The eye is green It's seen more than it wants to It's seen more than it wants It's seen more than it wants to To see
