Vanessa Lee Carlton (born August 16, 1980 in Milford, Pennsylvania) is an American pop and rock singer, songwriter and pianist best known for the hit song "A Thousand Miles", a single from her platinum-selling debut album Be Not Nobody (2002). Although it is widely respected by her many fans, the follow up to this album, Harmonium, did not fare as well, selling only 179,000 copies. Her third album, tentatively titled "Heroes and Thieves," will be released mid to late 2007.

Green Sleeves Lyrics

Vanessa Carlton

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me out discourteously;
When I have loved you so so long
Delighting in your company.
Your gown was of the grassy green
Your sleeves of satin were hanging by
Which made you be a harvest queen
Yet you would not love me
Green sleeves was my all my joy
Green sleeves was my delight,
Green sleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady green sleeves.
Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me out discourteously;
When I have loved you so so long
Delighting in your company.
