Sweet Sir Galahad
3
Came in through the window
4
In the night when
5
The moon was in the yard.
6
He took her hand in his
7
And shook the long hair
8
From his neck and he told her
9
She'd been working much too hard.
10
It was true that ever since the day
11
Her crazy man had passed away
12
To the land of poet's pride,
13
She laughed and talked a lot
14
With new people on the block
15
But always at evening time she cried.
16
And here's to the dawn of their days.
17
She moved her head
18
A little down on the bed
19
Until it rested softly on his knee.
20
And there she dropped her smile
21
And there she sighed awhile,
22
And told him all the sadness
23
Of those years that numbered three.
24
Well you know I think my fate's belated
25
Because of all the hours I waited
26
For the day when I'd no longer cry.
27
I get myself to work by eight
28
But oh, was I born too late,
29
And do you think I'll fail
30
At every single thing I try?
31
And here's to the dawn of their days.
32
He just put his arm around her
33
And that's the way I found her
34
Eight months later to the day.
35
The lines of a smile erased
36
The tear tracks upon her face,
37
A smile could linger, even stay.
38
Sweet Sir Galahad went down
39
With his gay bride of flowers,
40
The prince of the hours
41
Of her lifetime.
42
And here's to the dawn
43
Of their days,
44
Of their days.
