The King & Queen Of England Bring back the king to his throne, And the smile may return to the queen. How can she rule on her own, When the glory of what might have been is all she feels? The fire still burns in the hearth, The music still plays for her...

The Lady The lady she had a silver tongue. For to sing she said, And maybe that's all. Wait for the dawn and we will have that song. When it ends it will seem That we hear silence fall. The lady she had a golden heart, For to love, she said And she did not...

The North Star Grassman They stood upon the deck As the ship went out to sea. The wind it took the sails And left the land a memory. All upon the shore for To wonder why the sailor goes. All to close their eyes And wonder what the sailor knows. That is you...

The Optimist The steps he took were nice and easy. He never knew he could stumble and go down. As he saw the buildings and the mountains crumble, Over the road he would take to the town. He said, ``Next year I'm coming back, I'll see you later.'' It takes l...
