  • GREEN SAND

    Geese on the highway
    Blood on the shore
    Chariots lined up
    By the back door

    I will be waiting
    Tracing my hand
    Counting my chances
    On the green sand

    Every child wishes
    Hopes and demands
    The fortunes of others
    Will fall in his hands

    What have I stolen
    What have I lost
    The fields have gone fallow
    Fighting next year's frost

    I will be waiting
    Just like we planned
    Taking my chances
    On the green sand


    Every child wishes
    Hopes and demands
    The fortunes of others
    Will fall in his hands

    I saw Jesus running
    Into the wood
    I trampled the forest
    Took everything I could

    I will be waiting
    The loot in my hand
    Covering my footsteps
    On the green sand Writer/s: Mary Kortes, Stephen Butler
