Guinevere

Lucy Kaplansky

Guinevere in my castle in Normandy

Make a new home with me come follow me down

Guinevere all my honor and glory

Will just be a story of the fall of the crown



Am I some dancing Lancelot who only falls in love

With a woman who belongs to someone else

Is it just the blood of Paris running through my veins

That sees and takes a woman and myself I can't restrain



Is this knight of cups in his noble stance

Just a jack of clubs with an eye askance

On the queen of hearts in her royal blue

I may shield the poor but I can't save you



Guinevere in my castle in Normandy

Make a new home with me come follow me down

Guinevere all my honor and glory

Will just be a story of the fall of the crown



Golden apples on the mountain this one fell to me

We are planets in a heartless gravity

I never chose to make a choice

It felt like someone else's voice

Saying all those crazy things down on one knee



Cassandra never cast a shadow now it's heading to the shore

Oh the face that launched a thousand ships is sailing one more



Guinevere in my castle in Normandy

Make a new home with me come follow me down

Guinevere all my honor and glory

Will just be a story of the fall of the crown
