Guinevere Lyrics - Honor Among Thieves - Edwin Mccain

After all the corridors are darkened 

When the royal crown is off your head 

To your chambers I will creep not a word we will speak 

Just love me while the fire light dances 'round the bed 

Well there is danger in this passion 

Because the king can never never know 

And on my blood I've sworn my allegiance 

So I'll leave you when the sunlight comes and beckons me to go 

And the silver shine is tarnished from my armor 

And in battle I am paralyzed with fear| 

And this poison in my soul is the love we'll never know 

And it finds me playing Lancelot to your Guinevere 

Well and Guinevere is sly enough to steal a little taste 

And her laughter it peals into the night 

Oh but forbidden fruit always stays sticky on your face 

And without virtue I'm worthless in a fight 

Stealing little glances at the table I feel that this is theater in the round 

But far away chasing vixens in the meadow 

Your love like wind, blows right by and sweeps me off the ground 

Your love sweeps me off the ground 

Well now it sweeps me off the the ground 

And the silver shine is tarnished from my armor 

And in battle I am paralyzed with fear 

And this poison in my soul is the love we'll never know 

And it finds me playing Lancelot to your Guinevere
