Gordon Lightfoot - Bitter Green Lyrics
Upon the bitter green she walked the hills above the townEcho to her footsteps as soft as eider downWaiting for her master to kiss away her tearsWaiting through the yearsBitter green they called herWalking in the sunLoving everyone that she metBitter green they called herWaiting in the sunWaiting for someone to take her homeSome say he was a sailor who died away at seaSome say he was a prisoner who never was set freeLost upon the ocean he died there in the mistDreaming of her kissBitter green they called herWalking in the sunLoving everyone that she metBitter green they called herWaiting in the sunWaiting for someone to take her homeBut now the bitter green is gone, the hills have turned to rustThere comes a weary stranger, his tears fall in the dustKneeling by the churchyard in the autumn mistDreaming of a kissBitter green they called herWalking in the sunLoving everyone that she metBitter green they called herWaiting in the sunWaiting for someone to take her home
