[00:21.04]The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
[00:25.60]He said"I am not fighting for you any more"
[00:30.91]The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
[00:35.35]And slowly she let him inside
[00:40.40]He said"I've watched your palace up here on the hill
[00:44.84]And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
[00:50.01]But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
[00:54.26]Only first I am asking you why"
[01:00.93]Down in the long narrow hall he was led
[01:04.49]Into her rooms with her tapestries red
[01:10.18]And she never once took the crown from her head
[01:15.13]She asked him there to sit down
[01:22.34]He said"I see you now and you are so very young
[01:26.95]But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
[01:31.76]And I've got this intuition says it's all for your fun
[01:36.95]And now will you tell me why"
[01:41.95]The young queen she fixed him with an arrogant eye
[01:46.38]She said"You won't understand and you may as well not try"
[01:51.55]But her face was a child's and he thought she would cry
[01:56.30]But she closed herself up like a fan
[02:02.73]And she said"I've swallowed a secret burning thread
[02:06.41]It cuts me inside and often I've bled"
[02:12.33]He laid his hand then on top of her head
[02:16.83]And he bowed her down to the ground
[02:41.99]"Tell me how hungry are you How weak you must feel
[02:46.42]As you are living here alone and you are never revealed
[02:50.91]But I won't march again on your battlefield"
[02:56.28]And he took her to the window to see
[03:01.48]And the sun it was gold though the sky it was gray
[03:06.22]And she wanted more than she ever could say
[03:11.21]But she knew how it frightened her and she turned away
[03:16.20]And would not look at his face again
[03:21.13]And he said"I want to live as an honest man
[03:26.50]To get all I deserve and to give all I can
[03:31.26]And to love a young woman who I don't understand
[03:35.94]Your highness your ways are very strange"
[03:43.92]But the crown it had fallen and she thought she would break
[03:48.67]And she stood there ashamed of the way her heart ached
[03:53.54]She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
[03:58.78]She would only be a moment inside
[04:03.96]Out in the distance her order was heard
[04:08.57]And the soldier was killed still waiting for her word
[04:13.38]And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred
[04:18.18]The battle continued on
