Bitter Green Gordon Lightfoot

[Verse 1]
Upon the bitter green she walked
The hills above the town
Echo to her footsteps
As soft as eiderdown
Waiting for her master
To kiss away her tears
Waiting through the years

[Chorus]
Bitter Green they called her
Walking in the sun
Loving everyone that she met
Bitter Green they called her
Waiting in the sun
Waiting for someone to take her home

[Verse 2]
Some say he was a sailor
Who died away at sea
Some say he was a prisoner
Who never was set free
Lost upon the ocean
He died there in the mist
Dreaming of a kiss
