Upon the bitter green she walked the hills above her town Echoed to her footsteps, as soft as eiderdown Waiting for her master to kiss away the 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 has gone The hills have turned to rust There comes a weary stranger, his tears fall in the dust Kneeling by the church yard in the Autumn 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
Upon the bitter green she walked the hills above her town Echoed to her footsteps as soft as eiderdown Waiting for her master to kiss away the 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
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
