Jack-in-the-Green (2003 Remaster)

歌詞

Have you seen Jack-in-the-Green With his long tail hanging down He sits quietly under every tree In the folds of his velvet gown He drinks from the empty acorn cup The dew that dawn sweetly bestows And taps his cane upon the ground Signals the snow drops it's time to grow It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green No place to dance no time for song He wears the colours of the summer soldier And carries the green flag all the winter long Jack do you never sleep does the green still run deep in your heart Or will these changing times motorways, powerlines keep us apart Well, I don't think so I saw some grass growing through the pavements today The Rowan, the Oak and the Holly tree Are the charges left for him to groom Each blade of grass whispers Jack-in-the-Green Oh Jack, please help me through my winter's night And - We are the berries on the Holly tree Oh, the Mistle Thrush is coming Jack, put out the light
