GREEN IN THE BLUE

ONCE WHEN YOU WERE STILL A BABY
FIELDS JUST GREW AND GREW
WE WERE HAPPY THEN, REMEMBER?
WHEN THE WORLD WAS GREEN IN THE BLUE
MEADOWS LIKE A SULTAN'S CARPET
BENEATH YOUR BABY SHOE
THEY'LL BE YOURS AGAIN, I PROMISE
STAND YOUR GROUND AND WORK BESIDE ME
AND EARTH WILL BLOOM ANEW
WHEN THE MOUNTAIN FALLS AND THE CAGED BIRD FLIES
AND THE GRASS GETS GREENER BEFORE OUR EYES
AS THE WORLD GROWS GREEN AND THE CLEAR BLUE SKY
WHEN THE WORLD GROWS GREEN IN THE BLUE

IN THE BLUE,
COWS IN THE DELL
GOATS IN THE DELL
GREEN IN THE BLUE
IN THE BLUE,
MILK IN THE JUG
CREAM IN THE PAIL
GREEN IN THE BLUE
WE CAN PICK
BEANS IN THE BOWL
PEAS IN THE PIE
FRUIT ON THE BOUGH
WE CAN PUT
SEEDS IN THE GROUND
SHOOTS IN THE SUN
FIX UP THE PLOW
[SUMMER]
PIKE IN THE POND,
HAY ON THE HILL
SWEET AS PURPLE PLUM WINE
FLAX ON THE WHEEL,
GRIST IN THE MILL
MEAT ON THE PLATE
[FALL TIME]
THRUSH IN THE GRASS
GAME IN THE GLEN
CLUSTERS ON THE GRAPE VINE
HENS IN THE HOUSE,
PIGS IN THE PEN
HEARTY AND FREE
[WINTER]
SOUP IN YOUR SPOON,
JAM ON YOUR BREAD
EVER GREEN AND AMPLE
SOCKS ON YOUR TOES,
BRICKS IN YOUR BED
KETTLES OF STEW
[SPRINGTIME]
EGGS IN THE NEST,
CHICKS IN THE SHELL
POPPY BURSTS OF YELLOW
MICE IN YOUR BARN,
FROGS IN THE WELL
GREEN IN THE BLUE

IN THE BLUE,
GEESE IN YOUR ROOST
BIRDS IN YOUR HAIR,
GOLD IN THE STREAM
IN THE BLUE,
SHEEP IN THE SKY
FISH IN THE AIR,
WINGS ON MY FEET
WE CAN FLY UP FROM THE GROUND
OVER THE TREES,
WONDERFUL VIEW
WE CAN SOAR HIGH AS A MOUNT
CATCHING THE BREEZE,
WONDERS COME TRUE

WHEN THE MOUNTAIN FALLS
AND THE CAGED BIRD FLIES
AND THE GRASS GROWS GREENER
BEFORE OUR EYES
AS THE WORLD GROWS GREEN
UNDER CLEAR BLUE SKIES
WHEN THE WORLD GROWS GREEN IN THE BLUE
