When The Wind Was Green

When The Wind Was Green - Polly Bergen

When the wind was green

At the start of the spring

When the wind was green

Like a living thing

It was on my lips

And its kiss was fair

You were there

When the wind was red

Like a summer wine

When the wind was red

Like your lips on mine

It caressed my face

And it tossed my hair

You were there

Then came the fall

And all of love came tumbling

Stumbling down

Like leaves that lost to frost

And found

They were flying

Crying

In a brown wind dying

But the winter's come

And we both should know

That the wind is white

Like the swirling snow

And we'll never see

All the wonderful things to be seen

When the wind is green
