Green man

Someone once said every Levellers song had the words "levelling the land" in it. Not ture but they do have recurrent themes. This and Standing Stones were written about the same time - after a trip to somne standing stones in south Wales and summer solstice at Avebury which may explain the similar themes

Green man

Stumbling out at closing time
The moon half lights my way
I hear a voice as old as time
It says you'll walk my way

Feel the wind
As it begins
Feel the driving rain
I am the voice
I am the choice
The lifeblood in your veins

Lashing out I try to stand
An old face meets my stare
Take my hand I'm the green man
Boy I'm everywhere

I was there when they carved the henge from stone
I was there when they carved that cross for Rome
I was there when In god we trust turned black
I'll be there in the morning
I'm coming back

have you seen a gargoyle smile
or held a scarecrow's hand?
Dig your feet into the soil
cos boy this is your land.

Feel the wind
As it begins
Feel the driving rain
I am the voice
I am the choice
The lifeblood in your veins
