Jandek - Green And Yellow lyrics

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
