Adam James - Lady in Green Lyrics

Lady in Green

Lady in green.
You caught my eye on an Oyster ride at Vine.
A transient reverie.
If you didn't flash those pearly whites I'd leave.

Big man that I was,
Stupid is and does.
For better or worse?
Depends on who leaves who first.

I can't catch you,
I'll never catch you. I can't.
God only knows,
I can't catch you,
I'll never catch you. I can't.

Got off the same stop,
Heart thump-in, dumbstruck.
I chased you down as a busker belted out
On saxophone. What a wonderful world!
Even I could see the serendipity at large.

Big man that I was,
Stupid is and does.
God only knows.

I can't catch you,
I'll never catch you. I can't.
God only knows,
I can't catch you,
I'll never catch you. I can't.

Lady in green,
I lost my mind on an Oyster ride at Vine.

Lady, you mean more to me
For the mere possibility.
Lady, you mean more to me
Than my fractured reality.

I can't catch you,
I'll never catch you. I can't.
God only knows.
I can't catch you,
I'll never catch you. I can't.
I can't catch you.
I'll never catch you.
I can't catch you.
I'll never catch you
I can't.
God only knows.


I am who I am.
No lover, no friend.
For richer or poor.
As the train closed its doors.
