The Courtesy Of Kings |
I knew this colorful woman once |
She drank and had a roving eye |
In the morning she was always mournful |
She’d cry and apologize |
But she’d always repeat herself |
Find comfort with a stranger and sing |
She never took much notice |
In the courtesy of kings |
She had pictures of Cuban artists |
And paintings from Rotterdam |
Promises that she made |
She never could stay true to them |
She said she loved me so deeply |
Then she’d spit in my face and scream |
And she never took much notice |
In the courtesy of kings |
She had the face of an angel |
And a smile no one could deny |
But the heart of a devil |
Beat deep down in her inside |
She spoke of judgment and forgiveness |
Her other lovers didn’t mean a thing |
She never took much notice |
In the courtesy of kings |
We parted in the middle of nowhere |
I haven’t seen her since then |
She always kept my mind busy |
She made her lies seem like a hymn |
Sometimes I wonder if I’d see her |
If I would still recognize |
Or just remember her as a dream |
And respect her for the love she used to bring |
If I could show her |
The courtesy of kings |
