gordon lightfoot - bitter green (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
upon the bitter green she walked
the hills above the town
echo to her footsteps
as soft as eiderdown
waiting for her master
to kiss away her tears
waiting through the years

[chorus]
bitter green they called her
walking in the sun
loving everyone that she met
bitter green they called her
waiting in the sun
waiting for someone to take her home
[verse 2]
some say he was a sailor
who died away at sea
some say hе was a prisoner
who never was sеt free
lost upon the ocean
he died there in the mist
dreaming of her kiss

[chorus]
bitter green they called her
walking in the sun
loving everyone that she met
bitter green they called her
waiting in the sun
waiting for someone to take her home

[verse 3]
but now, the bitter green is gone
the hills have turned to rust
there comes a weary stranger
his tears fall in the dust
kneeling by the churchyard
in the autumn mist
dreaming of a kiss
[chorus]
bitter green they called her
walking in the sun
loving everyone that she met
bitter green they called her
waiting in the sun
waiting for someone to take her hand
bitter green they called her
walking in the sun
loving everyone that she met
bitter green they called her
waiting in the sun
waiting for someone
to take her home
