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
