Have you seen a green man? 
He is evil, and he lies to you. 
He says he is a thief, 
But he is a wizard 
And he will take you away 
Where the dark things live. 
He is a cunning man, 
With black gloves that feel like fur 
When he touches you. 
He lives like a king 
Where the dark things live- 
He can make you a queen, 
But he takes you. 
Music's his air, 
His food like honey, 
And you are never left alone- 
Never alone. 
He can tell a grand story 
That begins with a river 
That leads to a cavern, 
Deep underground, 
Where it flows to a spring 
Where the water is sweet, 
But it makes you forget. 
He takes you. 
You can never grow old, 
And he will never die. 
He takes you. 
The sky is not blue. 
The world does not spin. 
The sun does not shine, 
If he takes you. 
You will live on old songs 
And drink riddles, 
And sleep well, 
But not deeply, 
But not often, 
If he takes you.
