[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
Green mansions, I can hear the mockingbird
Choir singing in a melancholy wood
The big wall all around
Where my baby will be found
Waiting for that day to come
[Bridge]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
Green mansions, high upon a hill
Green mansions, so quiet and still
Big wall all around
Where my baby will be found
Waiting for that day to come
