Gawain

I'm a man who lives alone, These crooked hills I've called 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 to me over Christmas game And the Emerald Knight 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 Theres 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 theres a lot of dreams she climbs inside A place where all the beetles hide I couldn't go although I tried Now the Green Knight now before me stand 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 fast 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? Never go and let me be- In crashing blows there is no game But when the Emerald Knight 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 Just a small town shame, Gawain For the land that once you loved is not the same Oh Gawain
