U/A Records in 1968.
***(Recorded live on stage in 1969.)***
INTRO:
#1.
Upon the bitter green she walked,
the hills above the town,
Echo'd to her footsteps as soft as Eider down.
Waiting for her master to kiss away her tears,
Waiting through the years.
CHORUS:
Bitter Green they called her,
Walking in the sun,
Loving everyone that she met.
Bitter Green they called her,
Waiting in the sun,
Waiting for someone to take her home.
#2.
Some say he was a sailor who sailed upon the sea.
Some say he was a prisoner who never was set free.
Lost upon the ocean he died there in the mist,
Dreaming of her kiss.
CHORUS:
Bitter Green they called her,
Walking in the sun,
Loving everyone that she met.
Bitter Green they called her,
Watching in the sun,
Waiting for someone to take her home.
#3.
But now the bitter green is gone, the hills have
turned to rust.
There comes a weary stranger, his tears fall in the dust.
Waiting by the churchyard in the autumn mist,
Dreaming of her kiss.
CHORUS:
Bitter Green they called her,
Walking in the sun,
Loving everyone that she met.
Bitter Green they called her,
Watching in the sun,
Waiting for someone...to take her home.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
