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 inside 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 inside 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
