Lancelot
Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer

Lancelot rode on a swayback marenhe won in a card game up north somewherenHe was bottom-out lonely, he was too tired to care,nstaying one step ahead of the rain.nnWell, he blew into Broken Bow late last yearnTalkin at the vision of his lost GuineverenBut he couldn't tell a grail from a glass of beer,nso he settled for Lady ElainennHe sang, Yodelay-hee, I ain't no untarnished Galahad,ndown from Arcadia like a dream in your head.nBut gentle lady, lend me the true heart I never hadnAnd I'll wash the years from your bednWith all the salt tears I have shed.nLancelot said.nnWell, morning came sleepy and morning came slownAnd the mirror revealed a face she didn't knownAnd the last autumn robins were packing to gonAs another year slipped by the way.nnSo she rose and she dressed and she pushed back the nightnPut up her hair by the dawn's early lightnAnd the man in her bed was an eagle in flightnAnd a wicked old crow in the hay.nnSinging, Yodelay-hee, I ain't no untarnished GalahadnDown from Arcadia like a dream in your headnBut gentle lady, lend me the true heart I never had,nAnd I'll stain the lavenders rednWith all of this good blood I shed.nLancelot said.nnWell, bugles blow golden and banners fly bluenBut these days the castle's just drywall and gluenAnd tiltin' at windmills is the best you can donWith the Black Knight of time on your lawnnnSo I wouldn't know if he left or he stayednProspered or faltered by the choices he madenMaybe he straggled and maybe he strayednAs the bright world went barrelling on.nnSinging, Yodelay-hee, I ain't no untarnished GalahadnDown from Arcadia like a dream in your headnBut gentle lady, lend me the pure heart I never hadnAnd I'll bring you roses and breadnAnd we'll fashion gold out of leadnWith all the illusions we shed.nLancelot said.
