have you seen the Jack in the Green?
with his long tail hanging down ?
He quietly sits under every tree
in the folds of his winter gown
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
the dew the dawn sweetly bestows.
And taps his cane upon the ground signals the snow drops "it's time to grow"
It's no fun being a Jack in the Green
No place to dance no time for song.
he wears the colors of the summer solstice
And carries the green flag all the winter long
Jack do you never sleep?
does the green still run deep in your heart so?
Or will these changing times motorways, power lines
keep us apart?
Well...I don't think so
I saw some grass growing through
the pavements today
The Rowan the Oak and the Holly tree
are the charges left for him to groom
Each blade of grass whispers Jack in the Green oh jack please help me through the winter's night
And we are the berries on the holly tree
The mistle thrush is coming Jack
put out the LIGHT.
