Richard Thompson - The May Queen lyrics

Didn’t you see it coming, if you loved her that well? Were you too cranked up yourself to be able to tell She was damned, she was drifting, but what the hell You went missing in action You were just there to prop up the bar Bask in the limelight from a shining star While you served up the poison And chauffeured the car I hope you got job satisfaction The May Queen, she’s lying, sleeping Crimson from her wound is weeping An the one’s who dragged her down to this Line up, her frozen lips to kiss Weren’t you the guardian of the rose, come what may? Didn’t you see the worm that was eating her away Were you too busy looking in the mirror to say The carriage has turned into a pumpkin You’re out on your own, your own kind of girl The soul of mediocrity loosed on the world Don’t be afraid, come on, give it a whirl Adequate always counts for something They took all her babies, it wasn’t disrespect If they died of anything, they died of neglect Pa**ion and experience isn’t something you inject When the game’s got pieces missing
