[ti: Velvet Green]
[length: 06:05]
[00:17.23]Walking on Velvet Green
[00:55.35]Scotch pine growing
[00:55.70]Isn’t it rare to be taking the air?
[01:02.49]Singing
[01:05.64]Walking on Velvet Green
[01:08.89]Walking on Velvet Green
[01:12.84]Distant cows lowing
[01:15.68]Never a care
[01:18.62]With your legs in the air
[01:21.27]Loving
[01:23.75]Walking on Velvet Green
[01:28.16]Won’t you have my company
[01:46.23]Yes, take it in your hands
[01:48.46]Go down on Velvet Green with a country man
[01:52.93]Who’s a young girl’s fancy and an old maid’s dream
[01:58.42]Tell your mother that you walked all night on Velvet Green
[02:03.25]One dusky half-hour’s ride up to the north
[02:10.80]There lies your reputation and all that you’re worth
[02:17.41]Where the scent of wild roses turns the milk to cream
[02:21.92]Tell your mother that you walked all night on Velvet Green
[02:27.82]And the long grass blows in the evening cool
[02:34.74]And August’s rare delights may be April’s fool
[02:41.10]But think not of that my love
[02:44.18]I’m tight against the seam
[02:46.17]And I’m growing up to meet you down on Velvet Green
[02:51.15]Now let me tell you that it’s love and not just lust
[04:09.80]And if we live the lie let’s lie in trust
[04:16.04]On golden daffodils to catch the silver stream
[04:20.55]That washes out the wild oat seed on Velvet Green
[04:25.86]We’ll dream as lovers under the stars
[04:33.60]But civilization’s raging afar
[04:39.29]And the ragged dawn breaks on your battle scars
[04:44.50]As you walk home cold and alone upon Velvet Green
[04:50.89](Repeat first two verses)
