Black to Green (Throw Away those Old Clothes)

I look back with mixed feelings that taste of bittersweet,
I look ahead at the changing road that winds beneath my feet
I look now at these ghosts that haunt the cloisters deep within
Like the dust that still seeps from the pores of my skin

So let’s welcome Woody home. He’s been gone for too long,
He’ll sit down with John Barleycorn and celebrate in song,
And when the dust is laid, he’ll sit fishing by the stream,
He’ll throw away those old clothes, and watch black turn to green..

I look up to the bright blue sky long hidden from our sight,
I look down through the darkness now seen in a different light
I look around like with new eyes to these valleys, lanes and hills
Those dak heaps covered with the grass and swaying daffodils

So let’s welcome Woody home. He’s been gone for too long

I look here as all those scars heal over with the years,
I look there at those seeds of conflict , blood and sweat and tears
I look everywhere at the men of straw that sell off all your dreams
They come and go like dry leaves that float away downstream..

So let’s welcome Woody home. He’s been gone for too long (x2)
