As with the previous track, this is a song that expresses the conflict of Sir Guy of Gisborne. Brilliantly portrayed in the BBC television programme, Sir Guy was a darkly conflicted soul. Deeply in love with Maid Marian, yet also valuing money and power, he did his best to offer her everything he could: a home, money, and stability.
lyrics
Marian, the castle is home
I know it's cold, but my arms are warm
And I'm waiting here for you
I can't offer you a hero
I can't give you all I am
Marian, you love him
Leaving me a broken man
I can't offer you a hero
I can't give you all I am
I thought you could be the one,
the one, the one, the one
I thought you could be the one,
the one, the one, the one
I thought wrong
I can't offer you a hero
I can't give you all I am
