The green one sleeps
underneath the falls
Deep in the roar of water
he slowly dreams the world
verse 2
And those who venture close
to that shadow 'neath the sea,
they fall asleep forever
in the eddy of the reeds
INTERLUDE
Don't listen, don't listen to the call
Turn away, away, from the whisper in the falls
verse 3
On the first summer nights
the windows open wide
The world expands in darkness,
black waters rushing by
verse 4
There are hunters in the hedges
There are whispers in the green
The soaking mud is hungry,
closer now it seeps
INTERLUDE
Don't listen, don't listen to the call
Turn away, away, from the hissing in the walls
VERSE 5
Be careful summer nights
Keep the windows closed
Outside the yard is crawling
The heavy branches bow
VERSE 6
In heat the world remembers
when all rushed with the sea
In heat the old waves rise again
to claim what has crawled free
INTERLUDE
Don't listen, don't listen to the call
Turn away, away, from the one beneath the falls
Don't listen, don't listen to the call
Turn away, away, from the one beneath the falls
