Tango

The walls are gray with silence, torchlit stairs spiral down The lonely fire is burning for when the king returns from town I sit in his throne and drink his wine, pretend I'm not alone I can tango, and breathe underseas, and waltz with mermaids when, the rainbow catches me Once 'twas filled with jesters, rejoicing minstrels sang A toast was made to my future bride and a thousand goblets rang The castle's knights in shining suits protected all who came And the walls came down Visigoths charged in The lightning of their swords lighting all the rooms within They took us off our guard but we still withstood My castle lay in shambles My princess was gone for good I can tango, and breathe underseas, and waltz with mermaids when, the rainbow catches me
