HEAVEN IS GREEN
Ā
Your leaves,Ā
may the sun always kiss.
your air, blow so clean and so crisp
may no more backfire from the human empire
keep you from healing this.
Ā
heaven, oh heaven is green
from the mountain, to the sea.
Ā
grounded,Ā
by the green
blackberry bramble in the bay laurel breeze
wash my soul clean,
I beg ānever leaveā¦ā
I can hear your voices, through the trees
Ā
heaven, oh heaven is green
from the flowers, to the bee.
Ā
heaven in their eyes, I have seen
heaven in our eyes, I have seen
Ā
but now they spin round like the perfect machine.
and your sweet forests are clear cut clean, clear cut clean,Ā
gone from a heaven, heaven so green.
Ā
Blue skies above you, all the fish in the sea
Whatās it gonna take to love you
the way that you need?
Ā
Are we killing time till last bird sings?
Killing time till the last birds sing?
Ā
Because then itās all over, good intentions will smolder,
and bloodied hands will never wipe clean, wonāt wipe clean
gone from a heaven,Ā
A heaven so green.
Ā
So your leaves,
may the sun always kiss.
your air, blow so clean and so crisp
may no more backfire from the human empire
keep you from healing this.
