Up on the bitter green she walked,
hills above the town
Echo of her footsteps,
soft as I'd her down
Waitin' for her master to
kiss away her tears
Waitin' through the years
Bitter green they called her,
walkin' in the sun
Lovin' everyone that she met
Bitter green, called her,
waitin' in the sun
Waitin' 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
Dreamin' of a kiss
Bitter green, they called her,
walkin' in the sun
Lovin' everyone that she met
Bitter green, called her
Waitin' in the sun
Waitin' for someone to take
her home
Now the bitter green has gone
The hills have turned to rust
Here comes a weary stranger
His tears fall in the dust
Kneelin' by the churchyard
In the autumn mist, dreamin' of acres
Bit of green they call her,
walkin' in the sun
Lovin' everyone that she met
Bit of green they call her,
waitin' in the sun
Waitin' for someone to take her home
Bit of green they call her,
walkin' in the sun
Lovin' everyone that she met
They're green, they're golden,
waiting in the sun, waiting in the sun...
