Lyrics
The Prince And Old Lady Shade
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The prince was a bird
Not guilty or the like
A true friend sip and soft
No suffering cry
All names and some cranks
He'd powdered all off
Their sycophantic gifts
Were never enough
Old lady shade turns
A vespertilian thing
A motion event
A friend of the jinn
The prince and old lady shade
The prince and old lady shade
She has a fair eye
She takes her fair share
Of the city's mid day
That lunch lady's glare
The prince and old lady shade
The prince and old lady shade
General woo very nearly smiled
Saw the light in the little child
The prince and old lady shade
The prince and old lady shade
Oh
Oh
