The Darkening Green by Xander Mancino Lyrics
The ice is thin atop the flowing stream
The blowing trees
Turns in the sea
Every step he takes he crunches grass
Forgotten past
Nothing really matters
Now he's feeling life has passed him by
Reasons why
He starts to cry
She left him without any reason to live
Nothing to give
Upon the echoing green
[Instrumental break]
All the moments have now faded to red
Ambition bled
Nothing lasts forever
The linen land speaks with a lilting tongue
It says "Take a rest
You'll feel better."
Memories are buried in the ground
Waiting to be drowned
By the sun shining down
Nothing left but to start again
Begin where it ends
Upon the darkening green
Oh, the darkening green
The blowing trees
Turns in the sea
Every step he takes he crunches grass
Forgotten past
Nothing really matters
Now he's feeling life has passed him by
Reasons why
He starts to cry
She left him without any reason to live
Nothing to give
Upon the echoing green
[Instrumental break]
All the moments have now faded to red
Ambition bled
Nothing lasts forever
The linen land speaks with a lilting tongue
It says "Take a rest
You'll feel better."
Memories are buried in the ground
Waiting to be drowned
By the sun shining down
Nothing left but to start again
Begin where it ends
Upon the darkening green
Oh, the darkening green
