lyrics

They all fear the green maid
Tongue as sharp as my blade
In my garden pristine
So lush and unseen
The tools of my trade

And my crows gathered round
A black torrent of sound
I looked up with their caw
And that’s when I saw
The man who’d be bound

And I am wide open to the stars in the sky
Oh, I am wide open, no I can’t hide
And the crows don’t lie when they scream out loud
Try to tell me

He’s the man they all chase
Jade green eyes and good face
I’ve been brewing all night
Outside the first light
Oh, how my crows pace

And the mixture I’ve made
While the other girls prayed
Sweet apothecary will soon make him see
Or there’s hell to be paid

And I am wide open to the stars in the sky
Oh, I am wide open, no I can’t hide
And the crows don’t lie when they scream out loud
Try to tell me

Now you’re coming with me
There is nowhere to flee
Things are not what they seem
Impossible dream
But so mote it be

While the rest of you pout
Full of envy and doubt
Have I strung you along
With this little song
Mess around and find out

Cup of tea, love?
Watch your face
Now your eyes they dilate
So enamored now
Oh, how bespoken for me

Wide open to the stars in the sky
You are wide open, no you can’t hide
Wide open to the stars in the sky
You are wide open, no you can’t hide
