Guinevere - Edwin Mccain

Well now after all the corridors are darkened

And when the royal crown is off your head

To your chamber I will creep

Not a word we will speak

Just love me while the firelight dances 'round the bed

Well there is danger in this passion

For the king can never never know

And on my blood

I swore my allegiance

So I’ll leave you when the sunlight beckons me to go

And the silver shine is tarnished from my armour

And in battle I am paralyzed with fear

And this poison in my soul is the love we’ll never know

And it finds me playing Lancelot to your Guinevere

And Guinevere is sly enough

To steal a little taste

And her laughter it peals into the night

Oh and forbidden fruit always stays sticky on your face

And without virtue

I’m worthless in a fight

Whoa… yeah…

Stealing little glances at the table

I feel that this is theatre in the round

But far away

Chasing vixens in the meadow

Your love like wind it blows right by and sweeps me off the ground

Your love sweeps off the ground

Well now it sweeps me off the ground

And the silver shine is tarnished from my armour

And in battle I am paralyzed with fear, oh

And this poison in my soul is the love we’ll never know

And it finds me playing Lancelot to your Guinevere

Oh… to your Guinevere

And it finds me playing Lancelot

To your Guinevere
