Artist/Band: Jethro Tull
Lyrics for Song: Velvet Green
Lyrics for Album: Best Of Acoustic [2007]



Walking on Velvet Green

Scotch pine growing

Isn't it rare to be taking the air?

Sitting

Walking on Velvet Green



Walking on Velvet Green

Distant cows lowing

Never a care

With your legs in the air

Loving

Walking on Velvet Green



Won't you have my company

Yes, take it in your hands

Go down on Velvet Green with a country man

Who's a young girl's fancy and an old maid's dream

Tell your mother that you walked all night on Velvet Green



One dusky half-hour's ride up to the north

There lies your reputation and all that you're worth

Where the scent of wild roses turns the milk to cream

Tell your mother that you walked all night on Velvet Green



And the long grass blows in the evening cool

And August's rare delights may be April's fool

But think not of that my love

I'm tight against the seam

And I'm growing up to meet you down on Velvet Green



Now let me tell you that it's love and not just lust

And if we live the lie let's lie in trust

On golden daffodils to catch the silver stream

That washes out the wild oat seed on Velvet Green



We'll dream as lovers under the stars

But civilization's raging afar

And the ragged dawn breaks on your battle scars

As you walk home cold and alone upon Velvet Green



(Repeat first two verses)
