Lyrics
Richard
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.
Richard set to sail the seven seas
With the power held within him he could feel the need
To reach out far and touch on all who came
To the resting place named Overon where he hath been
There you are
Take care my love
I'll be thinking all about you
With the morning stars
There you are
Take care my love
I'll be thinking all about you
With the morning stars
Richard fought the seven wars of old
As around him his foot soldiers cheered with hearts of gold
He rode amongst them shouting for the king
Didn't stop to think of ages past where he hath been
There you are
Take care my love
I'll be thinking of the time we shared
Amid the morning stars
There you are
Take care my love
I'll be thinking of the time we shared
Amid the morning stars
Richard never scaled to higher dreams
If a leader has it in for you, can you succeed
And though his passion kept us all afloat
There's no room for a deciever in the union boat
There you are
Take care my love
I'll singing songs about you
Til the morning, til the morning comes along
Richard dreamt of seeing but believed
In the gathering light a paradise he once concieved
To carry forth along the seven seas
With the light to a tree of Overon he set us free
