Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me bring you songs from the woods
To make you feel much better than you could know
(Better than you could know)
Dust you down from tip to toe
(Dust you down from tip to toe)
Show you how the garden grows
(Show you how the garden grows)
Hold you steady as you go
(Hold steady as you)
Join the chorus if you can
It'll make of you an honest man
[Verse 2]
Let me bring you love from the fields
Poppies, reddin' roses filled with summer rain
To heal the wound and still the pain
That threatens again and again
As you drag down every lover's lane
Life's long celebration's here
I'll toast you all in penny cheer
[Verse 3]
Let me bring you all things refined
Galliards and lute songs served in chilling ale
Greetings well, my fellow, hail
I am the wind to fill your sail
I am the cross to take your nail
A singer of these ageless times
With kitchen prose and gutter rhymes
[Verse 4]
Songs from the wood
Make you feel much better
Songs from the wood
Make you feel much better
[Verse 5]
Songs from the wood
(Songs from the wood)
[Verse 6]
Let me bring you love from the fields
Poppies, reddin' roses filled with summer rain
To heal the wound and still the pain
That threatens again and again
As you drag down every lover's lane
Life's long celebration's here
I'll toast you all in penny cheer
[Verse 7]
Songs from the wood
Make you feel much better
Songs from the wood
Make you feel much better
