Green And Yellow

Jandek


It's only that I forget how to look at things
In green and yellow of the world outside 
The faces of the people in the shadows 
It's not only that I could not practice art 
And you know a man without his work's no good 
I sail the seven seas to sing about it 
This one's dark and dangerous as you know 
I sing about it as the ones before 
But the next one oh my lover will be lonely 
I'll scream your name in a tunnel 
In the alley 
I'll look for you each and every night 
I'll be a desperate man, what a man 
Who longs to love and hold and yes provide for 
And takes his lovely lady by the hand 
And leads her home for a promised land 
Who gets up in the morning mmmm 
And goes to work
