Walking on Velvet Green -
Scots Pine Growing.
Isn't it rare to be taking the air,
Sinning -
Walking on Velvet Green.

Walking on Velvet Green.
Distant cows lowing.
Never a care. with your legs in the air,
Loving -
Walking on Velvet Green.

Won't you have my company, yes, take it in your hand.
Go down on Velvet Green, with a country-man.
Who's a young girls fancy
And an old maid's dream.
Tell your mother that you walked
All night on Velvet Green.

One dusky half-hour's ride up to the
North
There lies your reputation and all that
You're worth
Where the scent of wild roses turns the
Milk to cream.
Tell your mother that you walked
All night on Velvet Green.

And the long grass blows in the evening
Cool
And August's rare delights may be April's
Fool.
But think not of that my love, I'm tight
Against the seam.
And I'm growing up to meet you down on
Velvet Green.

Now I may tell you that it's love and
Not just lust.
And If we live the lie, let's lie in trust.
And golden daffodils to catch the silver
Stream.
That washes out the wild oat seed on
Velvet Green.
We'll dream as lovers under the stars:
Of civilizations raging afar.
And the ragged dawn breaks on your
Battle scars.
As you walk home cold and alone upon
Velvet Green.

Walking on Velvet Green -
Scots Pine Growing.
Isn't it rare to be taking the air,
Sinning -
Walking on Velvet Green.

Walking on Velvet Green.
Distant cows lowing.
Never a care. with your legs in the air,
Loving -
Walking on Velvet Green.
