The Green Boy

Lyrics

First blood
 The man in breeches leans against the wall
 And keeps a green-striped clove ball in his pouch
 You know him as your friend but he is filling in for someone
 First come
 The girl in breeches bends her head and sighs
 And rubs a green-striped gourd across her palm
 You know her as your love but she is marking time just marking time
 Hold to me, say to me, kiss to me, fall for me, do to me
 What you will
 Hold to me, say to me, kiss to me, fall for me, do to me
 What you will
 And all the answers are the same as they have been before
 And all the questions are the same as you've been looking for, my friend
 First served
 The man in green-striped tights is now inside
 He picks his teeth with fragments of his lute
 You chose him as your guard and he is here with you and no one else
 There's no one else
 Hold to me, say to me, kiss to me, fall for me, do to me
 What you will
 Hold to me, say to me, kiss to me, fall for me, do to me
 What you will
 And all the answers are the same as they have been before
 And all the questions are the same as you've been looking for, my friend
 Hold to me, say to me, kiss to me, fall for me, do to me
 What you will, what you will
 One, two, three
 Four, five, six
