Green of the Afternoon Songtext
von Joe Henry

The days crawl, the nights fall, swift and soon
You move like green upon this afternoon
You move like green upon this afternoon
Climbing walls to find me in my room


The river is a border deep and wide
I draw the line that can′t be justified
I draw the line that can't be justified
But I live to be conquered, I′m fighting from your side

You swallow up the sun just like the sea
You take the peace of God away from me
You take the peace of God away from me
Not all are saved, not all of us mean to be

I mean to sing of love that goes unpure
You come to me and you silence every war
You come to me and you silence every war
But what goes unspoken may not go unheard
