Greensleeves Lyrics

I had to leave Mikael

I had to say goodbye

Mikael's eyes were sunlight

and he didn't even cry.



I turned my back

I walked away

from all I knew before

Left my clothes a-lying in a pink heap on the floor.



Nighttime could you spare some time for me

I'm alone now if you care to care for me



Man came up behind me

and his beard was gray and dry

Grayness equaled only by the blueness of his eyes

Wound up my intention to flee and run away

Small white lily in his hand

It made me turn and say:



"Pardon me is that a lily that you hold?

I could use a pearl or two from one who's old."



Greensleeves, Greensleeves, how can I get my fill?

Walk a mile in these boots boy then go in for the kill

You, showed your ball to me.

You, showed your ball your crystal ball down from the wall

step one two three step right step left for me



Now I've got a bugle and I have my own guitar

Feet extend the stetch of time

My voice spreads wide and far.

New green clothes that fit me well and better every day.

Small white hand upon my shoulder

I turned to hear her say:



"Do you think that you're an angel of the Lord?

Do you think a child like you can know the score?"



Greensleeves, Greensleeves, how can I get my fill?

Walk a mile in these boots boy then go in for the kill

Greensleeves, Greensleeves, how can I get my fill?

Walk a mile in these boots boy then go in for the kill

Walk a mile in these boots boy then go in for the kill.
