Guinevere

Edwin McCain

After all the corridors are darkened

When the royal crown is off your head

To your chambers I will creep not a word we will speak

Just love me while the fire light dances 'round the bed

Well there is danger in this passion

Because the king can never never know

And on my blood I've sworn my allegiance

So I'll leave you when the sunlight comes and beckons me to go

And the silver shine is tarnished from my armor

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

Well and Guinevere is sly enough to steal a little taste

And her laughter it peals into the night

Oh but forbidden fruit always stays sticky on your face

And without virtue I'm worthless in a fight

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, blows right by and sweeps me off the ground

Your love sweeps me off the ground

Well now it sweeps me off the the ground

And the silver shine is tarnished from my armor

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
