Heavy hung the canopy of blue 
Shade my eyes and I can see you 
White is the light that shines through the dress that you wore 

She lay in the shadow of the wave 
Hazy were the visions of her playing 
Sunlight on her eyes but moonshine made her cry ev'ry time 

Green is the colour of her kind 
Quickness of the eye deceives the mind 
Envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned
