Green is the Colour (Live BBC Radio Session, 12 May 1969)

[Verse 1]

Heavy hung the canopy of blue

Shade my eyes and I can see you

White is the light that shines through the dress that you wore

[Verse 2]

She lay in the shadow of the wave

Hazy were the visions of her playing

Sunlight on her eyes but moonshine made her cry ev’ry time

(du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du)

(du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du)

[Verse 3]

Green is the colour of her kind

Quickness of the eye deceives the mind

Envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned
