Queen of the Night - The Vanished People

Baby, you've been had I am forever searching high and low But why does everybody tell me no? Neptune of the seas, an answer for me, please The lily of the valley doesn't know I lie in wait with open eyes I carry on through stormy skies I follow every course my kingdom for a horse But each time I grow old Serpent of the Nile, relieve me for a while And cast me from your spell and let me go Messenger from Seven Seas has flown To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne Wars will never cease, is there time enough for peace? But the lily of the valley doesn't know

Sometimes I get to feelin' I was back in the old days, long ago When we were kids, when we were young Things seemed so perfect, you know The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young The sun was always shinin' We just lived for fun Sometimes it seems like lately I just don't know The rest of my life's been just a show Those were the days of our lives The bad things in life were so few Those days are all gone now, but one thing is true When I look, and I find, I still love you You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide Ain't that a shame Ooh, I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride When life was just a game No use in sitting and thinkin' on what you did When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids Sometimes it seems like lately I just don't know Better sit back and go with the flow 'Cause these are the days of our lives They've flown in the swiftness of time These days are all gone now, but some things remain When I look, and I find, no change Those were the days of our lives, yeah The bad things in life were so few Those days are all gone now, but one thing's still true When I look, and I find I still love you I still love you

She said she was a maiden That wasn't what I heard For the sake of conversation I took her at her word The lights went out behind us The fireflies undressed The broken sidewalk ended I touched her sleeping breasts They opened to me urgently Like lilies from the dead Behind a fine embroidery Her nipples rose like bread Then I took off my necktie And she took off her dress My belt and pistol set aside We tore away the rest The night of Santiago And I was passing through So I took her to the river As any man would do Her thighs, they slipped away from me Like schools of startled fish Though I've forgotten half my life I still remember this Now, as a man, I won't repeat The things she said aloud Except for this, my lips are sealed forever And for now And soon, there's sand in every kiss And soon, the dawn is ready And soon, the night surrenders To a daffodil machete I gave her something pretty And I waited till she laughed I wasn't born a gypsy To make a woman sad The night of Santiago And I was passing through I took her to the river As any man would do The night of Santiago And I was passing through I took her to the river As any man would do I didn't fall in love, of course It's never up to you But she was walking back and forth And I was passing through When I took her to the river In her virginal apparel When I took her to the river On that night of Santiago And yes she lied about it all Her children and her husband You were born to judge the world Forgive me but I wasn't The night of Santiago And I was passing through I took her to the river As any man would do The night of Santiago And I was passing through I took her to the river As any man would do The night of Santiago And I was passing through So I took her to the river As any man would do The night of Santiago And I was passing through So I her to the river As any man would do
