lyrics

He was sixteen when he stole a car and drove away,
bribed the ferryman to take him far across the bay.
When he ran out of money, he took to walking cause he could.
They gave up looking when he went in the wood.
But they gave up looking when he went in the wood.

He was twenty-three when he came out the other side;
Traded out his stories by the firelight,
came to the sea, swam his way to shore,
he made it home again when he was twenty-four.
He made it home again when he was twenty-four.

His mother said ‘If you’re the Green-man, I still love you, it’s okay.’
She gave him nothing, for a Dark-one in the woods, nothing stays.
She only told him, ‘Be honest when Arduinna asks your name.’
‘Be honest when Arduinna asks your name.’

He disappeared again, he found himself a valley in the sky.
He cut off all his hair and gave it to another passerby,
when he ran out of stories he started running cause he could,
he will be out there just running in the wood.
I know he’s out there just running in the wood.

You gave up looking when he went in the wood.
You gave up looking when he went in the wood.
