The King And Queen Of England(Home Demo Alternate Take) - Sandy Denny

作词：Sandy Denny

作曲：Sandy Denny

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

And 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 watches only 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
