[Verse 1]
G Em C G
Joy and love and peace are here in this place

By your leave I will sing of the season

The king was well-dressed in the silks of the best

With his ribbons so gallantly streaming

My god, Virginny's song is so pleasing

Is it a shadow, you’re lost alone and only hide from your demons

A little light was all we needed

Captain hе heard that noble king's word
G C/A Cadd9/B C
He gathered his men for the doing

Gathered in green, a true rainbow of green

Well Ginny cried out, "Why must you do it?"

St. Stephen, I knew it

A little light was all we needed

At the end of the day, on the ground where she lay

If I was only a season
C G
Well St. Stephen’s a reason
