Van morrison green mansions lyrics

Green mansions, high upon a hill

Green mansions, quiet and still

Big wall all around

It's where my baby will be found

Waiting for that day, to come 

Green mansions, high upon a hill

In the countryside where the birds begin to sing

Free from the glamour of the world

Where the story does unfurl

Waiting on that day to come 



Tried in vain to forget

Just how it ought to be

Over and over and over and over again

'Bout what it means to me 



Green mansions, I can hear the mocking bird

Birds singing in a melancholy wood

The big wall all around

Where my baby will be found

Waiting for that day to come 



Well I've tried in vain, to forget

Yeah what it ought to be

Over and over, over again

Just what it means to me 



Green mansions, high upon a hill

Green mansions, quiet and still

Big wall all around

Where my baby will be found

Waiting for that day to come 



Green mansions, high upon a hill

Green mansions, quiet and still

Big wall all around

Where my baby will be found

Waiting for that day to come
