When The Green Was Green

When The Green Was Green
When the wind was green
At the start of the spring
When the wind was green
Like a living thing
It was on my lips
And it's kiss was fair
You were there
When the wind was red
Like a summer wine
When the wind was red
Like your lips on mine

It caressed my face
And it tossed my hair
You were there
Then came the fall and all of love
Came tumbling, stumbling down
Like leaves that lost to
frost and found
They were flying-crying
In a brown wind dying
But the winter's come and
we both should know
That the wind is white like
the swirling snow
And we'll never see all
the wonderful things to
be seen
When the wind is green
