Lyrics for When the Sun Shone on Vetiver

When the sun shone on vetiver When the sun shone on vetiver When the sun shone down on her Well, there's silver in that hole Yeah, there's silver in that hole Yeah, there's silver and coal And they're longing for the land And they're longing for the land For nature's forgiving hand And we're drifting And we're sailing And we're drifting And we're sailing And we're drifting Sailing... Now the sun aligns you legs And your lips and arms and breasts And the moon pours weather then And your branches claw around my claws Your branches claw around my claws And my leaves brush against your paws And we're dancing And we're dancing And we're dancing... In ireland my baby waits for me In greeceland my baby waits for me In spainland my baby waits for me In ireland my baby waits for me In all lands my baby waits for me Waiting patiently She's waiting patiently Waiting patiently Waiting patiently I fall in love
