Heart Of Green Lyrics

I have seen that shadow in the meadow
and I have seen that same shadow on the bayou
moving slowly through your heart of green
along your velvet belly is the cool sky
you jump into the water but the fire's been tamed
bless this jungle floor where I sleep
and I dreamed that I lost your heart of green

the dragon sleeps with the owl and the centipede
and they dream of you and me
along your velvet belly lies the cool sky
you jump into the water but the fire's been tamed
ooh bless this jungle floor where I sleep
and I dreamed that we touched your heart of green

opening like wings over the horizon
I hear that strange melody that only you can speak to me
You got that heart of green
she said I know the spirit of your greener day
she said I know the spirit of your greener day
she said I've seen that shadow stretched across the meadow
and I've seen that same shadow on the bayou
moving slowly through your heart of green moving slowly through your heart of green moving slowly through your heart of green
moving slowly through your heart of green moving slowly through your heart of green moving slowly through your heart of green

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is about nature and a sort of hippy/paegan (sic) outlook on life.

this song is about nature... being attuned to the environment around you, but yet somehow retaining the sickness of that that is life.
