Lyrics
KING RICHARD'S FAIRE
WELL THE LAST DAYS OF SUMMER
AND THE FIRST DAYS OF AUTUMN
LIKE THE LOVES OF YOUTH
AND THE TEARS THAT HAVE DRIED
LET'S ALL LOAD OUR PAST LIVES
AND HEAD SOUTH AT NOON
WHERE THE PINE TREES STILL GROW
BUT WITHER AT DAWN
AND WE'LL ALL SPEND A PENNY
AND SAY HI TO JENNY
WHERE VASSELS AND QUEENS
PRETEND THEY'RE IN TUNE
CHORUS: AND THE SUN COMES ABOVE YOU TO WARM A DAYS PATH
TO LIGHT THE KNIGHTS DARKNESS AS IN KING RICHARD'S FAIRE
SO WE SAY ARE GOODBYES
TO THE BARDS AND THEIR LADIES
WHEN DARKNESS ELUDES THEM
THEIR DREAMS ARE RIGHT THERE
BACK IN TIME WHERE BLACK DRAGONS
AND PAGANS WHERE FEARED
AND KNIIGHTS MOUNTED HORSES
TO PREPARE THE SPEAR
AND WE ALL DRANK A PLENTY
AND SAVORED OUR LADIES
WHO PRETEND TO BE FOOLS
IN THEIR KINGLY WAY
CHORUS: AND THE SUN COMES ABOVE YOU TO WARM A DAYS PATH
TO LIGHT THE KNIGHTS DARKNESS AS IN KING RICHARD'S FAIRE
