The Musical Box |
Play me old king Cole |
That I may join with you, |
All your hearts now seem so far from me It hardly seems to matter now. |
And the nurse will tell you lies |
Of a kingdom beyond the skies. |
But I am lost within this half-world, |
It hardly seems to matter now. |
Play me my song. |
Here it comes again. |
Play me my song. |
Here it comes again. |
Just a little bit, |
Just a little bit more time, |
Time left to live out my life. |
Play me my song. |
Here it comes again. |
Play me my song. |
Here it comes again. |
Old king cole was a merry old soul, |
And a merry old soul was he. |
So he called for his pipe, |
And he called for his bowl, |
And he called for his fiddlers three. |
But the clock, tick-tock, |
On the mantlepiece — |
And I want, and I feel, and I know, and I touch, |
Her warmth… |
She’s a lady, she’s got time, |
Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face. |
She’s a lady, she is mine. |
Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh. |
I’ve been waiting here for so long |
And all this time has passed me by It doesn’t seem to matter now |
You stand there with your fixed expression |
Casting doubt on all I have to say. |
Why don’t you touch me, touch me, |
Why don’t you touch me, touch me, |
Touch me now, now, now, now, now… |
