"Guinevere" lyrics - LUCY KAPLANSKY

Guinevere:
In my castle in Normandy,
Make a new home with me,
Come follow me down.
Guinevere:
All my honor and glory
Will just be a story
Of the fall of the crown.

Am I some dancing Lancelot who only falls in love
With the woman who belongs to someone else?
Is it just the blood of Paris running through my veins
That sees a taken woman, and myself I can't restain?
Is this knight of cups in his noble stance
Just a jack of clubs with an eye askance
At the queen of hearts in her royal blue?
I may shield the poor, but I can't save you.

Guinevere:
In my castle in Normandy,
Make a new home with me,
Come follow me down.
Guinevere:
All my honor and glory
Will just be a story
Of the fall of the crown.

Golden apples on the mountain this one fell to me,
We are planets in a heartless gravity.
I never chose to make a choice, it felt like someone else's voice
Saying all those crazy things down on one knee.
Cassandra never cast a shadow, now it's heading to the shore.
Oh the face that launched a thousand ships is sailing one more.

Guinevere [etc.]
