10000 Maniacs - Green Children lyrics

An august day in the hills of spain<br>A pair of children emerged from a cave<br>The strangest sight there, alone, they stood<br>With skin of green and words no one had heard<br><br>The girl was stronger, the boy was weak<br>With her new mother, she learned to speak<br>And wove a tale of a dying sun<br>They left for darkness, a dark world come undone<br><br>They travelled so far<br>So far<br>Believing they came from a star<br><br>Oooooh<br>Oooooh<br><br>She fell through life<br>Through time<br>Through parallel lives<br><br>The men of science, the men of fame<br>The men of letters tried to explain<br>Was it parallel worlds or a twist of time<br>To make her think she'd fallen, fallen from her sky<br><br>She fell through life<br>Through time<br>Through parallel lives<br><br>A whirlwind spun them all alone<br>Took them from their twilight home<br>Believing they came from a star<br><br>Oooooh...<br>Oooooh...
