The Innocence Mission
This Thread Is a Green Street
[Verse]
Something about these pink weeping trees
Brushing my shoulder blades right before rain
Is a doorway

[Chorus]
Do you know, where did it go
The other land in the heart?
I draw a map
That I can start to get there

[Verse]
I try to find a side doorway to these things
Daily, there have been kind people
And back to them shine these beams of longing

[Chorus]
Do you know, where did it go
The other land in the heart?
I draw a map
That I can start to get there

[Verse]
This thread that will mend, your sleeve again
Is a green street I walk, between clouds
Saying out loud that I miss you
[Chorus]
Do you know, where did it go
The other land in the heart?
I draw a map
That I can start to get there

[Post-Chorus]
Saying out loud that I miss you
Sometimes this is a green street I walk down
And leaves crown me a friend
And I walk down
