Janet from Tam Lin

lyrics

The Green

(Chorus)
While you play chess
I will smash the borders.
While you play chess
I'll go flying.
While you play chess
I will smash the borders,
go running into the green

Feet on the grass, dew on my hemline
Wind in my hair, I am flying!
I know my love is under the roses,
I know my life is under the sky!

Out in the wild, blood thrumming through me
arms wide open, to welcome the sun
A run from those spaces enclosed in cold shadow
A deep, green desiring that summons me on!

Love blue with promise, the sky opens to me
Scent of sweet roses infuses the air!
Madness is rooted in the growing of flowers
Order is sundered by beauty's wild push!
