Emerald Rose - Four Jacks lyrics

*When mother is aslumbering Beneath her shawl of white And you wrap your cloak against the wind But still you feel its bite With many mouths at home for feed This deer must not be lost When you thank the prey and let the arrow fly Conjure up Jack Frost When the maiden slips her samile cloak Revealing lilac breasts And the rising sun climbing high in the sky Calls acorns to their quest When hoof trod earth surrenders to seed And the meadowsweet is queen When you step the jig of furrow and plow You celebrate Jack Green Jack, Jack, dancing round the moonlight Changing shadows with every stride Jack, Jack, summer green and Yule white Hunter, Dancer, Dying One, Guide When summer oak green wanes scarlet and brown And a carpet of leaves is laid Mother's kiss has charged the land And staghorns drape the glade The fields as tall with sacrifice For springtimes still unborn Raise the crescent high, cut down the grain And invoke Jack Corn Jack, Jack, dancing round the moolight Changing shadows with every stride Jack, Jack, summer green and Yule white Hunter Dancer, Dying One, Guide Whrn the riddled fields aer gathered and gleaned From the shadow of a k**ing freeze And twilights fall to copper moons That dance with barren trees When comes the final harvest home Beneath the silver light When weary feet tread that dusky road Jack Lantern walks the night Jack, Jack, dancing round the moolight Changing shadows with every stride Jack, Jack, summer green and Yule white Hunter, Dancer, Dying One, Guide I'm no tawny hunter, no tiller of barley seed I've never threshed a stalk of wheat But I've still got a family to feed When I feel whelmed over With provider on my back I tilt my head Howl his howl Smille his secret grin And call on Jack Callin' on Jack I'm calling on Jack
