Lyrics

I'm a man who lives alone
These crooked hills I call my home
Now I had men and I had meat
And walls that rose a thousand feet
Now not so long ago it seems
I dreamed a dream of a man in green
His breath I felt, his face I've seen
So come and hear of a Christmas game
And the emerald night begins again
I risk my life to make my name so you might sing
Gawain
Riding on our hopes out in the rain
It's just a small town shame
Gawain
For the land that once you loved is not the same
Oh Gawain
There's a lady in the sacred lake
She visits me from day to day
Tiny hands caress my face
And they take me to the Other place
Now there's a hollow tree she climbs inside
A place where all the beetles hide
I couldn't go, although I tried
Now the Green Knight now before me stands
But I swear to God I killed the man!
How does he speak with his head in his hands?
Gawain
Riding on our hopes out in the rain
It's just a small town shame
Gawain
For the land that once you loved is not the same
Oh Gawain
I was young and I was lean
While he was tall and strong and mean
Now I hit first and I hit well
And I watched as the Green Man fell
How does he stand, how does he speak
How does he say these words to me?
Devil go and let me be
In crashing blows there is no gain
But when the emerald night begins again
I risk my life to make my name
Gawain
Riding on our hopes out in the rain
It's just a small town shame
Gawain
For the land that once you loved is not the same
Oh Gawain Gawain
Riding on our hopes out in the rain
'Cause there's small town shame
Gawain
For the land that once you loved is not the same
Oh Gawain
