Green Children Songtext

von 10000 Maniacs

An August day in the hills of Spain, a pair of children emerged from a
Cave.
The strangest sight there alone they stood, with skin of green and
Words
No one had heard.
The girl was stronger, the boy was weak, with her new mother she

To speak.
And wove a tale of a dying sun, the left the darkness, a dark world
Come
Undone.
They travelled so far. Believing they came from a star.

The men of science, the men of fame, the men of letters tried to

Fallen
From the sky?
A whirlwind spun them all alone,
Took them from their twilight home.
Believing they came from a star.
