Subject: ADD: Red and Green (Robb Johnson)
I found the song on Spotify as "Red & Green." I hear a few lines differently:
RED AND GREEN
(Robb Johnson)
I dreamed the old dream just last night,
Red and Green, and going home;
I dreamed of no wars left to fight,
Red and Green, and going home.
I dreamed of those who know no rest,
Red and Green, and going home;
The refugee, the dispossessed,
Red and Green, and going home.
And submarines plowshared the sand,
Red and Green, and going home;
And factories turned to fertile land,
Red and Green, and going home.
We heal the sick and the insane,
Red and Green, and going home;
The leper and the limousine,
Red and Green, and going home.
We saw our likeness in each face,
Red and Green, and going home;
And with each kindness, gathered grace,
Red and Green, and going home.
Ah, these are old dreams, nothing new,
Red and Green, and going home;
Of yet to come, nonetheless true,
Red and Green, and going home.
Red and Green, and going home.
Red and Green, and going home.
Alternate title: RED & GREEN
from the CD collection titled Margaret Thatcher: My Part in her Downfall, by Robb Johnson and the Irregulars
I think I have everything right, but I'm not sure about the "plowshared the sand" and "leper and the limousine."
