Alan Rankine - Green For Grief Lyrics

After fourteen years
(Hold her)
Of trying night and day
(Hold her)
She'll fight back joyous tears
(Hold her)
The odd, clear pregnancy

A premature was lost
Nine months to the present day
The 24th was here, the 25th slipped away
The 25th slipped away
A headstone to who?

He swam, say, twenty yards
(Save him)
While we played volleyball
(Save him)
With all that going on
(Save him)
How could you hear one call?
(Save him)

And as we stood knee-deep
We couldn't see anything
All we could do was weep
We couldn't see anything
A colored man sang his hymn
I said: "Save your hymns"
Green for grief
The eye is green
It's seen more than it wants to
It's seen more than it wants
It's seen more than it wants to see

It crashed him from behind
(Metal)
The carriage left its tracks
(Against)
It then rolled down the bank
(Flash)
All of them were trapped
(Pain)

The tide was out
But luck was in, in the form of mud
It broke his leg
But still, still life never moves again

Still life never moves
Still life never moves

Green for grief
The eye is green
It's seen more than it wants to
It's seen more than it wants
It's seen more than it wants to
To see
