talis kimberley - green places كلمات الأغنية

[verse:]
kitchen sink herbery
basil and rosemary grow
in between jam jars
and where the recycling goes
no room for more
on the seventeenth floor of the tower –
still, the rosemary flowers;
that’s all he needs
a few summoning seeds and he’s home
in the clay and the loam

[verse:]
marjorie’s dahlias
pinks and azaleas bloom
where she can see them
in the garden outside of her room
small as the courtyard may be
it’s a source of delight
for the scent and the sight;
sparrows and wandering bees are her visitors here
very small, very dear

[chorus:]
through spring with her promise
and summer with all of her graces
looking for jack, are you looking for jack?
if you’re looking for jack, then you’ll find him –
in all the green places
looking for jack, are you looking for jack?
are you looking for jack, hey?

[verse:]
council allotments
with leeks and shallots standing tall
leeks and shallots standing tall, leeks and shallots
digging by twilight
till coffee and comfy chair call
coffee and comfy chair call, coffee and comfy chair
each year’s a lesson
and this year it’s spinach and chard –
though july has been hard;
new couple taking the plot down the path
and they hope that he’ll show them the ropes

[bridge:]
and there’s still more green than there’s grey
perhaps it was we, not jack who went away

[verse:]
moss on the garage, or lichen on tiles and stones
lichen on tiles and stones, lichen on tiles
weeds in the pavement, or where you can see the land’s bones
where you can see the land’s bones
out on the brow of the hill
where it’s fields and woodlands as far as the sky –
then you know jack’s nearby
even the smallest of greenings are playing their part
and he’s there, at the heart –

[bridge:]
and there’s still more green than there’s grey
still more green than there’s grey
perhaps it was we, not jack, who went away
we, not jack, who went away …

through spring with her promise
and summer with all of her graces
looking for jack, are you looking for jack?
if you’re looking for jack, then you’ll find him –
you’ll find him in all the green places
looking for jack, are you looking for jack?
jack’s in all the green, green places
