Suzanne Vega lyrics The Queen & The Soldier lyrics The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door He said, "I am not fighting for you any more" The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before And slowly she let him inside. He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will Only first I am asking you why." Down in the long narrow hall he was led Into her rooms with her tapestries red And she never once took the crown from her head She asked him there to sit down. He said, "I see you now, and you are so very young But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun And now will you tell me why" The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try" But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry But she closed herself up like a fan. And she said, "I've swallowed a secret burning thread It cuts me inside, and often I've bled" He laid his hand then on top of her head And he bowed her down to the ground. "Tell me how hungry are you How weak you must feel As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed But I won't march again on your battlefield" And he took her to the window to see. And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray And she wanted more than she ever could say But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away And would not look at his face again. And he said, "I want to live as an honest man To get all I deserve and to give all I can And to love a young woman who I don't understand Your highness, your ways are very strange." But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait She would only be a moment inside. Out in the distance her order was heard And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred The battle continued on Other Suzanne Vega lyrics: Cracking lyrics Freeze Tag lyrics Small Blue Thing lyrics Straight Lines lyrics Undertow lyrics Some Journey lyrics Knight Moves lyrics Neighborhood Girls lyrics Tom's Diner lyrics Luka lyrics Ironbound / Fancy Poultry lyrics In The Eye lyrics Night Vision lyrics Solitude Standing lyrics Calypso lyrics Language lyrics Gypsy lyrics Wooden Horse lyrics Ironbound Poultry lyrics Tired Of Sleeping lyrics Men In A War lyrics Rusted Pipe lyrics Book Of Dreams lyrics Institution Green lyrics Those Whole Girls (Run In Grace) lyrics Room Off The Street lyrics Big Space lyrics Predictions lyrics Fifty-Fifty Chance lyrics Pilgrimage lyrics Rock In This Pocket lyrics Blood Makes Noise lyrics In Liverpool lyrics 99.9F lyrics Blood Sings lyrics Fat Man & Dancing Girl lyrics (If You Were ) In My Movie lyrics As A Child lyrics Bad Wisdom lyrics When Heroes Go Down lyrics As Girls Go lyrics Song Of Sand lyrics (If You Were) In My Movie lyrics Fat Man Dancing Girl lyrics Headshots lyrics Caramel lyrics Stockings lyrics Casual Match lyrics My Favorite Plum lyrics Tombstone lyrics Honeymoon Suite lyrics Lolita lyrics Thin Man lyrics Birth-day (Love Made Real) lyrics Penitent lyrics Widow's Walk lyrics (I'll Never Be) Your Maggie May lyrics It Makes Me Wonder lyrics Soap And Water lyrics Song In Red And Grey lyrics Last Year's Troubles lyrics Priscilla lyrics If I Were A Weapon lyrics Harbor Song lyrics Machine Ballerina lyrics Solitaire lyrics St. Clare lyrics Woman On The Tier (I'll See You Through) lyrics The Silver Lady lyrics Salt Water lyrics The Rent Song lyrics Private Goes Public lyrics One World (For One World One Voice) lyrics Not Me lyrics Night Song lyrics Men Will Be Men lyrics The Marching Dream lyrics Lightning lyrics Just Friends lyrics Freezing lyrics First Day Out lyrics Feather And Bone lyrics Daniella lyrics Brother Mine lyrics The Boulevardiers lyrics Black Widow Station lyrics Left Of Center lyrics The Queen And The Soldier lyrics Marlene On The Wall lyrics World Before Columbus lyrics No Cheap Thrill lyrics Rosemary lyrics Book A Cover lyrics |
