Costello, Elvis - Green Song Lyrics
Fine rain was falling on the gravel and glades.
The last rays of September bejewelled broken blades.
But there's someone that I long for.
Oh, where have you been?
As the red earth lies under a covering of green.
As the seasons grow wild and the ground undisturbed.
`Till you find what you are now
Is less than you've been;
As the red earth lies under a covering of green.
Is patience exhausted?
Are your pockets picked clean?
I was lost in the next world
Or somewhere in between.
And it's much as predicted,
They say they'll return
But they never come back.
Fine rain was falling on the gravel and glades.
The lest rays of September bejewelled broken blades.
Are you still restless'
Or are you serene?
As the red earth lies under just a covering of green.

Costello, Elvis Green Song Comments
Beautiful.
stunning
How extraordinary is this pairing of rock singer, Elvis Costello and operatic mezzo-soprano, Anne Sofie von Otter. Sheer perfection.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful moving video and matching the lyrics so beautifully. It's my favourite song from the collaboration with Elvis Costello.
Anne Sofie von Otter's high notes are breathtaking!
Also, my guess is you'd probably enjoy other songs on the album as well, I think von Otter & Costello are very well matched.
I'm sorry Gloria, I don't, but sheetmusicplus (.com) might be a good place to start.
Lovely! I would like to have the scores of this piece! Do you know where can I find it?
You will find it here, the composers website, without the lyrics http://www.henryson.net/scorestore/
