Greensleeves
0:00 / 0:30
NEONVOT official site | https://neonvot.gemki.org Written around 1580, Greensleeves carries a form of longing shaped by its time—desire voiced through distance, devotion, and imbalance. This cover approaches the song not as complaint or possession, but as what lingers after loss. By holding space rather than resolution, it allows sorrow without blame, and feeling without demand.
[Verse 1]
Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company [Chorus]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves [Verse 2]
I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you would crave
I have both waged life and land
Your love and good will for to have [Chorus]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves [Verse 3]
Well, I will pray to God on high
That my constancy may see
And that yet once before I die
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me [Chorus]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves
[Chorus]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves
