Lyrics When Everything Is Green - Julie Christmas

When Everything Is Green

With eyes on the sand and not out to sea
Each footprint a mark where you’ve never been
So strange in this place, where dread is true king
A fold in the world where everything’s green
When everything’s green
Serpents around spread shadowy doubt
They crawl through your veins, even rain from your mouth
When everything’s green, when everything’s green
The raindrops will come and all wrong is undone
When everything’s green, when everything’s green
The smoke settles in like a new skin of spring
New air in your chest breathes long winter’s death
In slim silver gowns and hand-to-heart pressed
The red-hearted queen, in awe of all things
Steps into the ring — when it’s green, when it’s green
When everything’s green
Serpents around spread shadowy doubt
They crawl through your veins, even rain from your mouth
When everything’s green, when everything’s green
The raindrops will come and all wrong is undone
When everything’s green, when everything’s green
The smoke settles in like a new skin of spring
Serpents around spread shadowy doubt
They crawl through your veins, even rain from your mouth
But the red-hearted queen, in awe of all things
Steps into the ring — when it’s green, when it’s green
When everything’s green, when everything’s green
The raindrops will come and all wrong is undone
When everything’s green, when everything’s green
The smoke settles in like a new skin of spring
When everything’s green, when everything’s green
The smoke settles in like a new skin of spring
