Court Jester's Love Song (c) Lyrics

His fingers itch

For a hold of your hand

A beggar's wish

That you understand

But your pedestal is mortal

And your skin is not of gold

And the ivory tower crates of flower path

Is dark and chill and cold

He loves you

He loves you

He loves you

He loves you

There's a meek child somewhere in his eyes

With a daisy chain

And teeth as white as milk

Gold cradle

Baby's breath

And silk

But he's the black swan

White side reversed

So the sun and the moon

Can no longer converse

But if only you could have seen him as a boy

Before lightning struck twice

And pain became his toy

But how do you crush a heart who's already been crushed

And how do you turn your back

When it would only bring him touch
