Lyrics
The Green Man
The Green Man came to me/ one morning in the spring
When the dew lay on the fields,/ and my heart was full of longing
His eyes were green and gold,/ like sunlight on the leaves
Oh, more beautiful than any,/ he seemed that morning to me
He planted love in me,/ as I lay against the grass
And the earth around me sang/ of the ripening of summer
My arms like branches grew/ and roots sprang from my feet
Oh, I was green with life?s own yearning,/ with the joy he grew in me
But that was long ago,/ when I was soft and new
When the quickening of spring/ still rose in me like wonder
Many years have passed,/ and I know now autumn?s chill
Yet, I hear the green voice singing./ He grows within me still.
