Well now after all the corridors are darkened And when the royal crown is off your head To your chamber I will creep Not a word we will speak Just love me while the firelight dances 'round the bed Well there is danger in this passion For the king can never never know And on my blood I swore my allegiance So I'll leave you when the sunlight beckons me to go And the silver shine is tarnished from my armour And in battle I am paralyzed with fear And this poison in my soul is the love we'll never know And it finds me playing Lancelot to your Guinevere And Guinevere is sly enough To steal a little taste And her laughter it peals into the night Oh and forbidden fruit always stays sticky on your face And without virtue I'm worthless in a fight Whoa...yeah... Stealing little glances at the table I feel that this is theatre in the round But far away Chasing vixens in the meadow Your love like wind it blows right by and sweeps me off the ground Your love sweeps off the ground Well now it sweeps me off the ground And the silver shine is tarnished from my armour And in battle I am paralyzed with fear, oh And this poison in my soul is the love we'll never know And it finds me playing Lancelot to your Guinevere Oh....to your Guinevere And it finds me playing Lancelot To your Guinevere
