The Color Green - The Innocence Mission

We’ll get back there someday

We will stand together

And I will not worry so much

And the weather can be snow above the stairs

Or lakes and rivers running off of the windows

Looking out, looking out

I may see this better

The color green was sent to me in four beat measures

Of fields and their walkers in cardigan sweaters

With the lavender sky that was just beginning to

Rain down into the music

This is how it was sent, in and out of weather

Walking home I’m listening out

Between the buildings I 'm listening with you

For any song we knew

The color green was sent to me in waves, and lifted

Me up three stories.

I could see the day gifted

With a million gifts.

And tomorrow in the car

Things may turn around, I have to watch out

This is how it was sent, in a sudden visit
