Lyrics
Gone For A Burton
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.
Another one escapes the wilderness
We're sure to follow
Though lovers be lost love shall not
In that we wallow
Shall his death have no dominion
I made you mine
The night that Richard died
The newscasters cried
The night that Richard died
All they could take from him was his fame
They kissed it away
If their honour's lost they lose their lives
Should kiss them away
I might live out this great gap of time
Down in the valley
It's just another nail in the stable door
Of his brothers' mine
The night that Richard died
The newscaster cries
Forgive him all their lies
Forgive them for their lies
Forgive them for their lies
