The Green Man

Please to bend down for the one called the Green Man
He wants to make you his bride
Please to bend down for the one called the Green Man
Forever to him you're tied

And you know for a million years, he has been your lover
He'll be a million more
And you know for a million years, he has been your lover
Down through the skin, to the core

Lay your head, lay your head, lay your head, lay your head on the Green Man
Lay your head, lay your head with mine
Lay your head, lay your head, lay your head, lay your head on the Green Man
Feel the bed out of oak and pine

Please to dance round for the one called the Green Man
He wants to make you his child
Please to dance round for the one called the Green Man
Dressed in the fruits of the wild

And you know for a million years, he has been your father
He'll be a million more
And you know for a million years, he has been your father
Run to his arms at the door

See the Green Man blow his kiss from the church wall...
An unknowing church will amplify his call!

Please to bend down for the one called the Green Man
Please to bend down for the one called the Green Man

Lay your head
Lay your head
Lay your head
Lay your head
Lay your head
Lay your head...
