Brown-Eyed King Lyrics

Well listen to the story of Clementine

Born oh so fragile and so shy

Said her little wings would spread

When her old man said

Hear me little princess you are mine

And he swore that his love ran true and deep

But the little girl just could not see

Said her throne was illusion

But for fear her wings would burn

The people played along with the fantasy

Can you hear a princess sing

Oh Brown Eyed King

Who will hold the wedding ring

Oh Brown-Eyed King

Now she's left forever wondering

If your love ever meant a thing

Brown-Eyed King

Playing the silent game one evening

It was when the liquor's dues came knocking

And so her highness

Locked in muted silence

Found herself with a kingdom with no King

It was then that the people revealed their cards

Yeah you were never a princess, in his heart

And so just like that

She came hurtling back

Her throne suddenly ripped the world apart

Can you hear a princess sing

Oh Brown Eyed King

Who will hold the wedding ring

Oh Brown-Eyed King

Now she's left forever wondering

If your love ever meant a thing

Brown-Eyed King

Well they say forgiveness never comes too late

They say it is, the hallmark of the great

But apple of her eye

On him she would rely

And now she's lost forever in those dire straits
