Sinead O’Connor - Her Mantle So Green
Her Mantle So Green, sung by Sinead O'Connor.
A song about a young man who goes of to war leaving behind his true love, on returning he finds her and finds out if she has been true and still loves him. I have have tried to capture that with a more fantasy / Medieval touch to rather than the Nepolionic period it's from or so I belive.

As I went out walking, one morning in June
To view the fair fields, and the valleys in bloom;
I spied a pretty fair maid, she appeared like a queen,
With her costly fine robes and her mantle so green

I will dress you in fine linen, you'll appear like a queen,
With your costly fine robes and your mantle so green.

For I'll wed no man, so you must be refused;
To the green woods I will wander and shun all men's view
