Green And Yellow
It's only that I forget how to look at things
In green and yellow of the world outside The faces of the people in the shadows It's not only that I could not practice art And you know a man without his work's no good I sail the seven seas to sing about it This one's dark and dangerous as you know I sing about it as the ones before But the next one oh my lover will be lonely I'll scream your name in a tunnel In the alley I'll look for you each and every night I'll be a desperate man, what a man Who longs to love and hold and yes provide for And takes his lovely lady by the hand And leads her home for a promised land Who gets up in the morning mmmm And goes to work
