Song language: English
The King And Queen Of England |
| Bring back the king to his throne |
| And the smile may return to the queen |
| How can she rule on her own |
| When the glory of what might have been is all she feels? |
| The fire still burns in the hearth |
| The music still plays for her pleasure |
| But the air is as cold as the death |
| And the soft melodies only measure her bittersweet tears |
| Every note of each song brings a vision |
| Of love and of pain back to me |
| Like a captive I’ve locked in a prison |
| And whose liberty rests upon me |
| But I can’t find the key |
| You may never be free |
| The servants still hang on his every word |
| But his youthfulness passes him by |
| The king only watches the seasons |
| And they watching him see his sparkling eye |
| Holds no diamond any more |
| In the folds which begin every ending |
| I wish I forever could lie |
| But the cloth I wear is not for mending |
| For what tailor could stitch up the torn blue sky? |
| So the battle is done |
| Nobody won |
