Sincerity counts for nothing to The Lady of The Lake
She’s forgotten all her secrets; all her vows
She paints pictures; speaks in riddles I can’t work out
Smiles, claps her hands and takes her bows

They called you an ‘enchantress’ in the legend
You said you were good with that and the fancy gigs you've got
Yet now you live in dread of tidal waves and suffocating
Hence I’m thinking you got sick and tired then lost the plot

What about that sword you gave big man?
The death wish King; the one who time forgot
Did you ever regret you got mixed up in his trials and tribulations
Of a castle in the air thay called Camelot?

Somewhere I read you ‘transcended notoriety’
And that you once knew the ‘misty path to Avalon’
I heard you want to vacate your crystal cave apartment
Then go abroad and soak up the rays of Babylon

Falling stars and magic moments lost for ever
Now that the unicorns and dragons are no more
They’re all buried in an unnamed grave in a dying wonderland
Yet you’ve no idea you hold the key to the unlocked door

Are you still regretting drowning in love’s sorrow?
Don’t you miss the limelight, the romance and the fame?
Wishing you could turn back time doesn’t help anyone
For the record you should know I feel the same
