10,000 Maniacs - Green Children lyrics

An August day in the hills of Spain A pair of children emerged from a cave The strangest sight, there alone they stood With skin of green and words no one had heard The girl was stronger, the boy was weak With her new mother she learned to speak And wove a tale of a dyin' sun, they left the darkness Dark world come undone They traveled so far, so far Believing they came from a star Hmm, hmm Aaa She fell through life, through time Through parallel lives The men of science, the men of fame The men of letters tried to explain Was it parallel worlds or a twist of time To make her think she'd fallen, fallen from the sky? She fell through life, through time Through parallel lives A whirlwind spun them all alone Took them from their twilight home Believing they came from a star Haa, ahh
