Sweet Sir Galahad Lyrics - Joan Baez

SWEET SIR GALAHAD 

(Words and Music by Joan Baez) 

Sweet Sir Galahad 

came in through the window 

in the night when 

the moon was in the yard. 

He took her hand in his 

and shook the long hair 

from his neck and he told her 

she'd been working much too hard. 

It was true that ever since the day 

her crazy man had passed away 

to the land of poet's pride, 

she laughed and talked alot 

with new people on the block 

but always at evening time she cried.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And here's to the dawn of their days. 

She moved her head 

a little down on the bed 

until it rested softly on his knee. 

And there she dropped her smile 

and there she sighed awhile, 

and told him all the sadness 

of those years that numbered three. 

Well you know I think my fate's belated 

because of all the hours I waited 

for the day when I'd no longer cry. 

I get myself to work by eight 

but oh, was I born too late, 

and do you think I'll fail 

at every single thing I try? 

And here's to the dawn of their days. 

Photos 

He just put his arm around her 

and that's the way I found her 

eight months later to the day. 

The lines of a smile erased 

the tear tracks upon her face, 

a smile could linger, even stay. 

Sweet Sir Galahad went down 

with his gay bride of flowers, 

the prince of the hours 

of her lifetime. 

And here's to the dawn 

of their days, 

of their days.
