Sir Gawain

It was one year ago; he came in from the snow
With an offer I had to accept
But now that I've got to go seek him alone
Now I'm scared to go settle that debt

Now I'm on a bad hunting trip, day after day
But instead of the hunter, I'm looking more like the prey

Now I must go alone, got a table for one
Cause it's date night with my destiny
And what kind of man it turns out that I am
Is not yet quite clear to me

'Cause I couldn't live with myself, much less with you
If I find out I don't have the courage for what I have to do

Just wait for me through the night
I've got my own green knight to fight
Just wait by this linden tree for me
Wait here, I'll go up ahead
I'll try not to lose my head
And by the time I get back I hope that I'll be alive

It looks kinda scary, like I'm walking through faerie
Can't see my hand before my face
It's not the same story; it's new territory
No memory of this place

I wish that I didn't know what's in front of me
'cause I'm going under the knife in the chapel of green

Just wait for me through the night
I've got my own green knight to fight
Just wait by this linden tree for me
Wait here, I'll go up ahead
I'll try not to lose my head
And by the time I get back I hope that I'll be alive

And I'll think of you all the way
Across the forest so wide
Even after my hope has all but died

But when the light filters through the trees
When we're on the outside
We'll laugh about all the times we cried

I've got my own green knight to fight
Just wait by this linden tree for me
Wait here, I'll go up ahead
I'll try not to lose my head
And by the time I get back I'll finally be alive
