Zeppelin never left her
Never died or second guessed her, painted on her body
The stars would never hurt her
Never lie, never desert her
Painted on her body
She prayed to God when she was young
After the storm a calm would come above her
I thought that I could be the one to part the clouds before the sun above her

Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again

Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again

Mother moves to town again
Holds her upside down again said it's nice to see her
Brendan now youâ??ve got to come sheâ??s where I get my smile from
Iâ??d like for you to meet her

Now Andrea was paint and pride a step behind oh how she tried
I loved her
And all she wore from head to floor was shades of green from our store
I loved her oh oh oh

Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again

Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again

And oh, oh, oh, all for me she cried
And oh, oh, oh, all for love
In retrospect wish I
Could have said three words that night
All me, all me, all me

Now, green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you

Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
