Green Children Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

An August day in the hills of Spain 

A pair of children emerged from a cave 

The strangest sight, there alone they stood 

With skin of green and words no one had heard 

The girl was stronger, the boy was weak 

With her new mother she learned to speak 

And wove a tale of a dyin' sun, they left the darkness 

Dark world come undone 

They traveled so far, so far 

Believing they came from a star 

Hmm, hmm 

Aaa 

She fell through life, through time 

Through parallel lives 

The men of science, the men of fame 

The men of letters tried to explain 

Was it parallel worlds or a twist of time 

To make her think she'd fallen, fallen from the sky? 

She fell through life, through time 

Through parallel lives 

A whirlwind spun them all alone 

Took them from their twilight home 

Believing they came from a star 

Haa, ahh
