OK...Very slight alteration to the lyrics here...And THESE are the correct ones..with apologies to Ian for misquoting them above, here and there.. :0) 'Green Fingers' by Ian Lang "There's laughter in her eyes and a spring in the old man's step Said goodbye to those grey winter skies....another one hasn't done for him yet Up at first light, whistling a tune as he knocks out his pipe And she watches at the door....wonders how she could ever want for more She sits at the porch and thinks back to those distant days When he told her he carried a torch She knew what he meant and so she stayed It took a little time...it was a treasure she would one day find It was well worth the wait One day it's hidden....but its' never found too late She's laughter in her eyes, it's still there after all they've seen It's funny how the times flies One day you're leaving and the next you've been And she watches him still...turning the soil under an April sky She feels a chill...one day soon it'll be time She calls out his name The kettle's on and there's rain on the way And though he complains There's nothing here that he would ever change" One thing about correcting some of the words is that you get to listen to the song all over again...several times over. :0) And here is Ian's main site: NURSERY RECORDS
