Joan Baez - Lady Di And I lyrics
[Joan Baez - Lady Di And I lyrics]
Wake me with kisses in the afternoon
The butler knows any time you
Arrive is never too soon
He knows just where you are by
The sound of your car
He'll be waiting there by the spiral stair
You could drive me crazy
With your unkempt hair
You don't know what a comb is and frankly
I don't care
'Cause you're fast and you're wild and
You make the butler smile
By bringing me flowers like meteor showers
Which reminds me of something
That I've recently seen
It was a look in the eye of Lady Di
As she stood on the balcony
Knowing the last fantasy
Of the century was in her long white veil
Maybe she would rather have you
Than the Prince of Wales
And all the jewels and the
Crown and all the villages
And towns that line the sea of the monarchy
And while I cut the roses
What about Lady Di?
She's a child of the 80's just
Like you and like I
Think of all of the things
That she'll never do
See a rock and roll show
Get a heart-shaped tattoo
Wear a t-shirt around in the middle of town
Take a Harley ride as the sun goes down
And think of all the music
That I make with you
Let's take a walk on the wild side, baby
I'm in love with you
I will leave my Dior by the cabinet door
And I'll leave my bouquet
On the breakfast tray my parents are out
Let's head north of the bay
Maybe go for a sail just
Like the Prince of Wales
Does he ever love her in the afternoon?
Was the kiss that she gave him in
Public just a little too soon?
And it's really a shame
She'll take half of the blame
For the boys in the Maze
And their numbered days
Yes, there's a tear in the eye of Lady Di
As she looks from the
Balcony knowing the last
Fantasy of the century is probably a lie
My heart goes out to you, Princess
Lovely Lady Di for all that it seems
Here I stand in my jeans
For whatever it means, it is I who am queen
The butler knows any time you
Arrive is never too soon
He knows just where you are by
The sound of your car
He'll be waiting there by the spiral stair
You could drive me crazy
With your unkempt hair
You don't know what a comb is and frankly
I don't care
'Cause you're fast and you're wild and
You make the butler smile
By bringing me flowers like meteor showers
Which reminds me of something
That I've recently seen
It was a look in the eye of Lady Di
As she stood on the balcony
Knowing the last fantasy
Of the century was in her long white veil
Maybe she would rather have you
Than the Prince of Wales
And all the jewels and the

And towns that line the sea of the monarchy
And while I cut the roses

She's a child of the 80's just
