Green mansions, high upon a hill
Green mansions, quiet and still
Big wall all around
It's where my baby will be found
Waiting for that day, to comeGreen mansions, high upon a hill
In the countryside where the birds begin to sing
Free from the glamor of the world
Where the story does unfurl
Waiting on that day to comeTried in vain to forget
Just how it ought to be
Over and over and over and over again
'Bout what it means to meGreen mansions, I can hear the mocking bird
Birds singing in a melancholy wood
The big wall all around
Where my baby will be found
Waiting for that day to comeWell I've tried in vain, to forget
Yeah what it ought to be
Over and over, over again
Just what it means to meGreen mansions, high upon a hill
Green mansions, quiet and still
Big wall all around
Where my baby will be found
Waiting for that day to comeGreen mansions, high upon a hill
Green mansions, quiet and still
Big wall all around
Where my baby will be found
Waiting for that day to come.
