Guinevere

Well now after all the corridors are darkened
And when the royal crown is off your head
To your chamber I will creep
Not a word we will speak
Just love me while the firelight dances 'round the bed
Well there is danger in this passion
For the king can never never know
And on my blood
I swore my allegiance
So I’ll leave you when the sunlight beckons me to go
And the silver shine is tarnished from my armour
And in battle I am paralyzed with fear
And this poison in my soul is the love we’ll never know
And it finds me playing Lancelot to your Guinevere
And Guinevere is sly enough
To steal a little taste
And her laughter it peals into the night
Oh and forbidden fruit always stays sticky on your face
And without virtue
I’m worthless in a fight
Whoa… yeah…
Stealing little glances at the table
I feel that this is theatre in the round
But far away
Chasing vixens in the meadow
Your love like wind it blows right by and sweeps me off the ground
Your love sweeps off the ground
Well now it sweeps me off the ground
And the silver shine is tarnished from my armour
And in battle I am paralyzed with fear, oh
And this poison in my soul is the love we’ll never know
And it finds me playing Lancelot to your Guinevere
Oh… to your Guinevere
And it finds me playing Lancelot
To your Guinevere
