lyrics

Verdigris is the color I see
Roll the ages over me
Help me to go gracefully
Cover me with verdigris

When I leave, I’ll leave like I season
Like a slow, sweet change in the breeze
Time never needed a reason
To turn a few degrees

Verdigris is the color I see
Roll the ages over me
Help me to go gracefully
Cover me with verdigris

When I go, I’ll go like a shadow
Like a slow, slight change in the light
Before you can say, “Where did the day go?”
Look, here comes the night

Verdigris is the color I see
Roll the ages over me
Help me to go gracefully
Cover me with verdigris
