Guinevere Lyrics

After all the corridors are darkened

 When the royal crown is off your head

 To your chambers I will creep not a word we will speak

 Just love me while the fire light dances 'round the bed

 

 Well there is danger in this passion

 Because the king can never never know

 And on my blood I've sworn my allegiance

 So I'll leave you when the sunlight comes and beckons me to go

 

 And the silver shine is tarnished from my armor

 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

 

 Well and Guinevere is sly enough to steal a little taste

 And her laughter it peals into the night

 Oh but forbidden fruit always stays sticky on your face

 And without virtue I'm worthless in a fight

 

 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, blows right by and sweeps me off the ground

 Your love sweeps me off the ground

 Well now it sweeps me off the ground

 

 And the silver shine is tarnished from my armor 

 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
