Green Children Lyrics

    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 learned to speak
    And wove a tale of a dying sun
    They left for darkness, a dark world come undone

    They travelled so far
    So far
    Believing they came from a star

    Oooooh
    Oooooh

    She fell through life
    Through time
    Through parallel lives

    The men of science, the men of fame
    The men of letters tried to explain
    Was it parallel worlds or a twist of time
    To make her think she'd fallen, fallen from her sky

    She fell through life
    Through time
    Through parallel lives

    A whirlwind spun them all alone
    Took them from their twilight home
    Believing they came from a star

    Oooooh...
    Oooooh...
