letra de sword in the stone - jack hardy

[verse 1]
by the time the greyhound pulled into boston
the rain had turned to snow
by the time i got no answer
i had nowhere left to go
i stumbled down the alleyways
led by the fates alone
was then i stumbled on a café
called “the sword in the stone”

[verse 2]
she was writing in the corner
a candle and empty chair
with freckles from ‘cross the ocean
and strawberry blonde hair
she said, “i am the lady of the lake
though frozen that lake might be
and i can’t help a knight who undertakes
a quest chosen by lottery”

[chorus]
outside the wind was blowin’
the snow against the hour
outside the armies in motion
and the poets had lost their power
inside the magic of merlin
and the lady of the lake
put the sword back in the stone
in 1968
[verse 3]
i said, “i had a brother
i have a brother no more
of all things rent asunder
by this dirty little war
a rabbit chased by greyhounds
from here to distant shores
i find i am finally brought to bay
in this land of the troubadours”

[chorus]
outside the wind was blowin’
the snow against the hour
outside the armies in motion
and the poets had lost their power
took all the magic of merlin
and the lady of the lake
to put the sword back in the stone
in 1968

[verse 4]
i said, “the candle frames your beauty”
she blew that candle out
she said, “don’t be doin’ anything
if you do it out of doubt”
and with freckles from ‘cross the ocean
and strawberry blonde hair
she led me upstairs and showed me
why i could not go over there
[chorus]
outside the wind was blowin’
the snow against the hour
outside the armies in motion
and the poets had lost their power
took all the magic of merlin
and the lady of the lake
to put the sword back in the stone
in 1968
