I have seen that shadow in the meadow

and I have seen that same shadow on the bayou

moving slowly through your heart of green

along your velvet belly is the cool sky

you jump into the water but the fire's been tamed

bless this jungle floor where I sleep

and I dreamed that I lost your heart of green

the dragon sleeps with the owl and the centipede

and they dream of you and me

along your velvet belly lies the cool sky

you jump into the water but the fire's been tamed

ooh bless this jungle floor where I sleep

and I dreamed that we touched your heart of green

opening like wings over the horizon

I hear that strange melody that only you can speak to me

You got that heart of green

she said I know the spirit of your greener day

she said I know the spirit of your greener day

she said I've seen that shadow stretched across the meadow

and I've seen that same shadow on the bayou

moving slowly through your heart of green moving slowly through your heart

of green moving slowly through your heart of green

moving slowly through your heart of green moving slowly through your heart

of green moving slowly through your heart of green
