Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am the maypole dancing with the sun
I wear my ribbons white and red
I am the morning flowers in my hair
I am your son and heir, Mother
[Verse 2]
I am the mast horse riding out to war
I'll wear my ribbons, white and blue
I am the arrow stingin' in your side
I will never let you go
[Verse 3]
I am the last king standing on the hill
I'll wear my ribbons, white, red, and green
I am the visions the night before the fair
When you don't want me anymore and you're not there
[Verse 4]
I am a murder all falling out the sky
I'll wear my ribbons, black, until I die
I am the dark wood, the river, and the blood
I am the lover lost
[Verse 5]
I am the maypole dancing with the sun
I only wear my ribbons for you
I am the morning flowers in my hair
I am your son and heir
