Lyrics Play My Darling, Play - Katzenjammer

Play My Darling, Play

A messenger arrived through a sunlit open door
Passed the dangers of the world to his troubled queen so bored
With a voice full of worry and a frightened fighter’s face
Another day’s morning in life’s busy race
He looked into her eyes before he spoke
(He said)
Play, my darling, play
Don’t you put yourself on the throne no more
Play, my darling, play
There’s a world outside your broken border (s)
Play, my darling, play
Don’t you put your key in another door
Play, my darling, play
With the world outside your broken borders
She’s a lonely young girl, she’s the sister of the moon
Her heart is like November, though she wants it to be June
Oo, larger than life, she’s standing there so tall
There’s a note with her name, and it’s hanging on the wall
Her eyes, they opened wide when she read
(And he said)
Play, my darling, play…
She’s stuck there on her island so marooned
Oo, the limelights got her blinded and harpooned
(She said)
