Cry, lady, cry
The king of lyrics was in the galley
Cooking breakfast for his queen
His queen was on the deck
Fighting flames and risking life and limb
Cry, lady, cry
Hear your lover sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry, lady, cry
The king was on the stairs
Rushing up for his love to be saved
His queen was in the water
Holding on with whatever strength she’d raise
Cry, lady, cry
Hear your lover sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry, lady, cry
The monster was always flaming
And took his choice to eat
The king was having problems
Soaring off into the distance over the sea
Cry, lady, cry
Hear your lover sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry, lady, cry
There follows a meeting round the cave
For a battle in the gloom
With his voice rising skyward
Trying to keep the children in the dark
Cry, lady, cry
Hear your lover sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry, lady, cry
