King of Bohemia Lyrics

King of Bohemia

I leant out my copy of Mirror Blue, so this is pretty much guaranteed
to be inaccurate. Still I think it gives a feel for the style and
could be useful in conjunction with the recording on the album Mirror
Blue.
Let me rock you in my arms
And hold you safe and small,
A refugee from the seraphim
In your rich girl rags and all.
Did your dreams die young
Were they too hard won
Did you reach too high and fall
And there is no rest
For the ones God blessed
And he blessed you best of all.
for lyrics to other verses see the album...
Verse accompaniment: First 8 measures are flexible: keep the bass notes
on the important beats, change the rest each verse. Mm9-16 are played
pretty much the same each time except m12 which changes each verse.
