Velvet Green Lyrics - Songs From The Wood - Jethro Tull

Walking on Velvet Green 

Scotch pine growing 

Isn't it rare to be taking the air? 

Singing 

Walking on Velvet Green 

Walking on Velvet Green 

Distant cows lowing 

Never a care 

With your legs in the air 

Loving 

Walking on Velvet Green

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Won't you have my company 

Yes, take it in your hands 

Go down on Velvet Green with a country man 

Who's a young girl's fancy and an old maid's dream 

Tell your mother that you walked all night on Velvet Green 

One dusky half-hour's ride up to the north 

There lies your reputation and all that you're worth 

Where the scent of wild roses turns the milk to cream 

Tell your mother that you walked all night on Velvet Green 

And the long grass blows in the evening cool 

And August's rare delights may be April's fool 

But think not of that my love 

I'm tight against the seam 

And I'm growing up to meet you down on Velvet Green 

Now let me tell you that it's love and not just lust 

And if we live the lie let's lie in trust 

On golden daffodils to catch the silver stream 

That washes out the wild oat seed on Velvet Green 

Photos 

We'll dream as lovers under the stars 

But civilization's raging afar 

And the ragged dawn breaks on your battle scars 

As you walk home cold and alone upon Velvet Green 

(Repeat first two verses)
