Rick Nelson - Palace Guard lyrics

With handmade silver sparkles Like a well-dressed sequined who*e Your lady-like deceptions Keep reaching out for more And you ask me for nothing And nothing's not enough And the fisherman, he puts a claim on you But it's nothing but a bluff So with jealous hands tied 'round my back I stumble 'cross the floor Not knowing how to speak I keep reaching for the door "I know, you know me, well" I say "'Cause I'm the palace guard Remember me, we made love today At the King's bazaar" And you look at me With eyes that never see I can feel something start To die inside of me And you speak In wordless freedoms never seen Now I realize To you it's all a dream So before you show me everything There's something I must know I've worked with your friend John, the geek And his sidewalk trav'lin' show I know your childhood tailored dreams Are very well disguised So you don't have to fake it anymore It's all been memorized And you speak In wordless freedoms never seen Now I realize To you it's all a dream And you speak to me with feelings As real as sealing wax As the nearness dawns, the moth is gone Leaving trailless tracks "All you village people Sing your songs of the morning sunlit sky Don't you think it's time we moved along" Said the raven to the fly
