The Wedding Feast
So the wedding feast begins
Jesters dance and maidens sing
Pork and venison, chicken and beef
As befits a wedding feast
For a Locksley duty calls
But for Robin these castle walls
Were a prison and not a home
His greatest wish was to be gone
For there are hopes and dreams in a young man's heart
To take him to the sky
But if he is tied down to the ground
His dreams will never fly
Then his father bids him speak
Upon this wedding day
But too much wine, in vino veritas
Truth is on the way
"Father, I have always been
At your beck and call
But I don't need you to tell me
What I can and cannot do
So with King Richard I will go
To the Holy Land
Guy of Gisborne, will you join me?
Swear it on my hand"
As for Marian waiting in dread
Trembling at the wedding bed
Robin tells her from the door
"Do not fear, I will not stay
I'll be gone before the break of day"
For there are hopes and dreams in a young man's heart
To take him to the sky
But if he is tied down to the ground
His dreams will never fly
Jesters dance and maidens sing
Pork and venison, chicken and beef
As befits a wedding feast
For a Locksley duty calls
But for Robin these castle walls
Were a prison and not a home
His greatest wish was to be gone
For there are hopes and dreams in a young man's heart
To take him to the sky
But if he is tied down to the ground
His dreams will never fly
Then his father bids him speak
Upon this wedding day
But too much wine, in vino veritas
Truth is on the way
"Father, I have always been
At your beck and call
But I don't need you to tell me
What I can and cannot do
So with King Richard I will go
To the Holy Land
Guy of Gisborne, will you join me?
Swear it on my hand"
As for Marian waiting in dread
Trembling at the wedding bed
Robin tells her from the door
"Do not fear, I will not stay
I'll be gone before the break of day"
For there are hopes and dreams in a young man's heart
To take him to the sky
But if he is tied down to the ground
His dreams will never fly
