Song information

Title: Green Children
Artist: 10000 Maniacs
Album: Love Among the Ruins

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...
