Green, Green Grass Of Home

The old home town looks the same,
as I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they'll all come to meet me,
arms reachin' smiling sweetly
Oh it's good to touch the green, green grass of home

The old house is still standing,
though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Yes. down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they'll all come to meet me,
arms reachin' smiling sweetly
Oh it's good to touch the green, green grass of home

(Spoken)
Then I awake and look around me. Four grey walls surround me.
And I realize I was only dreamin'
There's a guard and there's a sad old padre,
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak -
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of an old oak tree
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home

３番の歌詞は語りです。

死を目前にした人間は、

ある人は

「それでも、良い人生だった」と・・・

また、ある人は

多少の後悔とともに、

自分の人生を振り返り、

出会い、

そして愛し合った数々の人々を

思い浮かべながらも・・・・

最後には、もう一度、

ふるさとの

あの樫の木が生い茂る

緑の大地に、触れてみたいと切望する！
