Subject: Lyr Add: THE GREEN MAN (Royston Wood)
This is what I hear:

Gather together you wan and weary
And come and admire what you shall find
The cold grey King he stands to the sacrifice
Spring is capering closer behind

So it's follow the fool he stands and he jingles
Dance to the Green Man for he is King
And it's bury your shame with the times it is dying*
When Winter is dead then follows the Spring

And you who lie in the dark of the morning
It's you'll be first to see the Sun
And the fool will get up and shake his branches
The Green Ma game has just begun

And so we'll dance to the rain you children of Albion
Bow to the wind on every hand
And it's scatter your old King under the harrow
The new will rise and take the land
