Glasshouse Green, Splinter Red Lyrics by John Pantry

Climb Aboard My Roundabout! (The British Toytown Pop Sound 1967-1974)

0

High on a balcony, over the path of green
The gardener gazed at the darkening sky
Who in his eyes held tears and as the thunder nears
He takes a step and he cries
Old man gone, leaving alone
Made up his mind, it's time to go home
And he knew it
Once he dreamed and now he's dead
Glasshouse green, splinter red
He was a lonely man and though his life was planned
He never saw the way that things could be
On his retirement day, a man with a greenhouse came
Things would be different, he could see
Work was his life, life was his pain
Mustn't let people think they were to blame
Though he knew it
Once he dreamed and now he's dead
Glasshouse green, splinter red
Poor soul, poor show, poor life, sent low
Poor kid, bought his life away
Poor soul, poor show, poor life, sent low
Poor kid, bought his life away
High on a balcony, over the path of green
The gardener gazed at the darkening sky
Who in his eyes held tears and as the thunder nears
He takes a step and he cries
Old man gone, leaving alone
Made up his mind, it was time to go home
And he knew it
Once he dreamed and now he's dead
Glasshouse green, splinter red
