The Greenwood Shade lyrics
There were dark clouds in the distance
though the sky was bright and clear
when she laughed and said she loved me;
said she'd always wish me near.
So we pledged our lives together.
I can recall the vows we made
as we celebrated summer
down in the greenwood shade.
But the wicked who would do us harm
must have surely passed that way
cos I lost my heart and lost my mind
when I lay down that day.
Now through a fog I still can see
the gift she gladly made
as she handed me a flowering bough
down in the greenwood shade.
Today I'm doomed to wander,
forever knocking on closed doors,
where I search in vain for answers
to the whys and many wherefores.
So if you should see a broken man
whose life has been mislaid
be thankful that you never strayed
down in the greenwood shade.
You can placate your oldest gods
or those who're new and free
but you'll never burn your future
in a fire hot as scorches me.
Was my mistake my hesitation
when belief first began to fade,
with certainty a stranger,
down in the greenwood shade.
