Lyrics
Blue and Green
Blue and Green fell out of the sky when the leaves turned brown.
Winter winds blew them away, now they hold me down.
I can't see those colors no more, sitting in the dark,
But I can feel them haunting my Soul, tearing me apart.
I yearn, I yearn, I yearn for the sun.
I yearn, I yearn, I yearn for the sun.
Buried deep in solid earth, whispered light and sound.
Faded shadows move away. Winter laid her body down.
Higher, higher, I reach for the sun.
Higher, higher, I reach for the sun.
Tenderly I grow, Tenderly I grow, Tenderly I grow.
I'm breathing in the sun. I'm breathing in the sun.
I see blue and I see green.
