GREEN MAN AND MOUNTAIN OSTRICH is about Magic and Spring here in Up-Country, where Spring and Magic mean exactly the same physicality...Green Man, of course, is Real.

GREEN MAN AND MOUNTAIN OSTRICH

Green Man met Ostrich
Mountain Ostrich smiled vaguely
They had met before

Where have you been now?
Where are you going now, Man?
This be my hood, Man....

I be goin' down -
Mountain Men are few and far
Follow my own Star...

Mountain Ostrich laughs:
You been just up-country, Man!
They all Pagans there!

They follow you Home
They follow most every where
You be goin' down...

Green Man Laugh Big, Long!
You be funny, Foothill Bird!
Far from your own home!

Don't you miss Desert?
Don't you yearn for hot sweet nights
Down under somewheres?

Mountain Ostrich grins
Here they feed me plenty, Man!
Here I be Some Bird!

Just like you I Live
Here where Spring needs you, needs me -
Needs to have Magic!

You and Me : Magic!
Don't belong most any wheres -
Be in Modern Time -

Don't believe in You -
Don't believe in Me - not much!
We be Ghosts of Pasts...

Green Man laughs and laughs!
You be so right, Mountain Bird!
Ostrich and Green Man!

Here, up-country sings
Songs of old Superstitions -
Of the Mountain Folk...

Only They see Us -
We bring Spring, Magic for Them -
They can See Us True...

Mountain Ostrich sighs
Bring it on now, Mighty Man
Bring on Pagan Spring!

Now Daffodils bloom -
Yellow is their magic song -
Green Man sings along....
