Jack-In-The-Green
(专辑: Songs From The Wood - 1977)
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
snowdrops 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 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 you 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
mistlethrush is coming. Jack, put out the
light.
