about

An elegy to the green man, woman or person, whose features and genius loci seem to appear frequently as if to remind me of something integral, whether amongst the cloisters of Durham Cathedral, hidden within the intricate carvings of Rosslyn Chapel or represented at customary festivals such the Burryman of South Queensferry, The Herring Queen of Eyemouth and The Jack in the Green of various English towns. (Grey).

lyrics

You will find me in the cloisters. On the cathedral wall. But if you ask the old books I was never here at all, I was never here at all. You may see me as a stag. You may spy me as a hare. But if you ask the river I was never there, I was never there. You’ll find me in Old Queensferry. Where I once a year walk free. And brought to harbour in Eyemouth. For a coronation of the sea. For a coronation of the sea. You may find me during Lammas. Around the summer fairs. Counting time, drinking wine. With Garland Queens and old Straw Bears. With Garland Queens and old Straw Bears. You will see me in the forest. The watcher in the wood. Woodwose, Derg Corra Viridios And Robin of the Hood, And Robin of the Hood. You may catch me in old stories. In songs you'll hear my name. When you think you see my face. It's never twice the same It's never twice the same.
