Lyrics
GUINEVERE OF CAMELOT
She was Guinevere of Camelot
Those were happy years then they were not
She took the fairy tale she changed the plot
Guinevere of Camelot
Had it all in days of yore
He gave her everything, she wanted more
She made a mess caused a war
Many deaths been laid at her door
When she dreams she?s still the queen
in a land that time forgot
In that world, she has long red curls
and a beauty spot
She?s Guinevere of Camelot
She kept her loveliness, she kept her gold
but there?s an emptiness way down in her soul
Was it myth? Was it truth?
Does she miss the madness
Does she miss her youth
When she dreams she?s still the queen
in a land that time forgot
In that world, she has long red curls
and a beauty spot
She?s Guinevere of Camelot
Life goes on ready or not
You make your bed, you lie with what you got
did what she did, still loves Lancelot
It?s fine for what it is
but not for what it?s not
It?s not Camelot
