Name: Green Street
Duration: P00H03M32S
Description: This song was written in 2010 after visiting the Green Street Cafe. The song is a collage of images pertaining to a first meeting with a woman, visiting the Cafe to see a friend play and learning of the impending closure of this Northampton icon. The song ultimately is about possibility and compassion running head long into ignorance and intolerance. This is a song of metaphor and abstraction.

lyrics

Drop D tuning, capo to 4th fret

Em
A precious time
G
the sight of you.
Em
So sublime,
G
what was I to do?

D
Me,
032030 D
just lifted in the wind
so fearful this would end
I could only just listen.

To feel,
the warmth within your hands
as if I’d never land
my mind just keeps repeating.

054200 002010
Green street so gracious is your love
020033
that simply breathes within you
that we all feel so quietly.

Painted frescos up above
speak to us in memory.
How could we ever lose you?

Now troubled times
they’ll follow you
till you ask yourself
“what am I to do”?

Please
just open up your hands
just try to understand,
brother I am speaking...

Of peace
a notion in our minds
so simple and sublime
how could we only help, but listen..
