Waltz of Green歌曲歌词：
作词 : Josephine Foster
作曲 : Josephine Foster
A garland of green my lover i send
And a green turtle to ride thee hence
Not fast nor fierce but in ten years time
When you my love are in your prime
When you my love are in your prime
And in ten years time the green of the vine
Will be a gentle tender hue
And so my hope, my lover my love
That i may find ye tender too
That i may find ye tender too
The leaves of the tree are deep underground
The needles of pines sew the soil to the mound
The air is of smoke but i see no fire
Red roses they droop their heads on the briar
Red roses they droop their heads on the briar
And who should be dancing along to this tune
I spy mother nature and father time swoon
Their bodies are bent their faces are gray
But they are the may king and queen, aren’t they
Yes, they are the may king and queen, aren’t they
A garland of green my lover i send
And a green turtle to ride thee hence
Not fast nor fierce but in ten years time
When you my love are in your prime
When you my love are in your prime

Josephine Foster简介：
Josephine Foster is an American modern folk singer-songwriter and musician from Colorado. As an adolescent she worked as a funeral and wedding singer, and aspired to become an opera singer. Several years later she abandoned the idea and began to record demos of her songs, resulting in the early recordings There Are Eyes Above (2000), an album of ukulele accompanied songs strongly influenced by Tin Pan Alley, and a short album of children’s songs, Little Life (2001).
For several years she worked as a singing teacher in Chicago, recording and performing with a variety of musical acts on the side including Born Heller, a duo with free jazz-bassist Jason Ajemian, and The Children’s Hour a pop band formed with songwriter Andrew Bar. In 2004, joined by her occasional backing band The Supposed (Brian Goodman on guitar and Rusty Peterson on drums), she released an album of psychedelic rock called All the Leaves Are Gone which has drawn comparison to Patti Smith and Jefferson Airplane.
The songs on her first solo studio album Hazel Eyes, I Will Lead You (2005) evoke American folk and blues forms of the early 20th century. A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, released in 2006, features unorthodox interpretations of 19th century German Lieder. Her third solo album, This Coming Gladness, was released in 2008. In early 2009 she signed to London-based Label Fire Records (uk)
