Ernie Botts + The Miseries - Courtyard lyrics

Welcome to a half pound of chocolate Welcome to a white speckled ceiling Welcome to the quiet desperation That comes with bidding farewell to the king They're playing for the king in the courtyard Repeating a timeless melody They're playing for the king in the courtyard Lovers dreamers and thieves If you let her persuade you You'll stay eternally Five thousand fathoms On the other side of the sea They're playing for the king in the courtyard Repeating a timeless melody They're playing for the king in the courtyard Lovers dreamers and thieves Left under the cabinets One last breath of air Minor twists of fate and labyrinths If they find you down here They're playing for the king in the courtyard Repeating a timeless melody They're playing for the king in the courtyard Lovers dreamers and thieves
