๐ Lyrics
Darling I can't see you anymore
I'm afraid they've summoned me to war
Promises I have made to the Queen and to the Fae
And I intend to keep them with my sword
Darling if I never make it home to you
I'll visit you as butterflies and dew
In another place and time
I swear I would have made you mine
But I have got a duty to strike true
Green though I be
Remember me
And what could have been if we lived in peace
Married my blade to the fate of the Fae
Traded my days for armor and fame
Green be my steel
Be my bow, be my shield
Pledged to defend the vine and the hedge
Remember me
When the leaves and the breeze
And the trees start to tease
The first breath of spring
I would have loved to pledge myself to you
But that is not the world that I was born into
A knight is always forged in the crucible of war
And that is what I gave my word to do
So I will fight with all my learned might
The blight of night will never dim my light
Though the memory of you
Makes me turn a shade of blue
A green knight has a duty to the wild
Green from my head
To my toes, till my death
Pledged to protect the vine and the hedge
Green is my blood
I'm sorry my love
Remember us
After I'm gone
All that I could
Be in love and be good
But I made an oath to the fields and the wood
So think of us all
When the snow starts to thaw
And though we may fall
The order lives on
Darling in another place and time
I'd have been content to make you mine
And in the dream of death
I'll dream the life we could have had if
I hadn't pledged myself to hedge and vine
I'm afraid they've summoned me to war
Promises I have made to the Queen and to the Fae
And I intend to keep them with my sword
Darling if I never make it home to you
I'll visit you as butterflies and dew
In another place and time
I swear I would have made you mine
But I have got a duty to strike true
Green though I be
Remember me
And what could have been if we lived in peace
Married my blade to the fate of the Fae
Traded my days for armor and fame
Green be my steel
Be my bow, be my shield
Pledged to defend the vine and the hedge
Remember me
When the leaves and the breeze
And the trees start to tease
The first breath of spring
I would have loved to pledge myself to you
But that is not the world that I was born into
A knight is always forged in the crucible of war
And that is what I gave my word to do
So I will fight with all my learned might
The blight of night will never dim my light
Though the memory of you
Makes me turn a shade of blue
A green knight has a duty to the wild
Green from my head
To my toes, till my death
Pledged to protect the vine and the hedge
Green is my blood
I'm sorry my love
Remember us
After I'm gone
All that I could
Be in love and be good
But I made an oath to the fields and the wood
So think of us all
When the snow starts to thaw
And though we may fall
The order lives on
Darling in another place and time
I'd have been content to make you mine
And in the dream of death
I'll dream the life we could have had if
I hadn't pledged myself to hedge and vine
