The Prayer Boat - Dark Green (Kenny Live)

The Prayer Boat perform 'Dark Green' on Kenny Live, RTE around 1996. You can find this song on The Prayer Boat's album "Polichinelle".

LYRICS:
Sunday morning, garden colours
Tripping over every moment
As they come fast like racing birds
Swirling for the gathering

Little children being golden
Hanging on to window dreaming
Don't tell them lies,
Don't deceive them
They rise now from the daisy fields

Let the colour river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Sit beside me now darling
Oh we're gonna see a change

Won't be long now before it turns
These heavy days of prophet tales
All shameless rhyme and remedy
We'll leave behind us when we sail

Let the colour river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Sit beside me now darling
Oh we're gonna see a change

You're inner mind,
There's more to feel
Out to the stars, There's more to feel
Don't let go of your lover's hand
Everything may soon be over

Let the colour river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Sit beside me now darling
Oh we're gonna see a change

Emmett's a genius. Why such a guy's music should not be hugely popular is beyond my comprehension. I mean, yes, Damien's good, but Emmett's superb. Oh well, no one said there was any justice in life.

no doubt one of the least mentioned GREAT albums of the last ten years.

@ceaselessidleness I don't think they're in the same league at all, personally. Tinley's layered, concise sentiment always hits home moreso. I'm dumbfounded as to why he's not lauded, apart from the staunch fans, even in Ireland not to mind the UK or Europe. Surely it's a failing on a promotional level.

I agree with 'isawhiteriot' ..a classic album missed by most! How big was the crack that The Prayer Boat feel through? Polichinelle was an album released well before it's time. It is vocally, musically and lyrically fantastic from start to finish. I would love to see the Prayer Boat have another go of it and re-release the album..they'd make it big this time!
