The Decemberists - The Kingdom of Spain lyrics
[The Decemberists - The Kingdom of Spain lyrics]
There are such colors they defy any name
Like drab and dolor
But, oh, the King and the Queen of Spain
With their long, unpronounceable names
Grace the table at the
Long lost Kingdom of Spain
In the Kingdom of Light a lithe young lawyer
Tries a case for her un-
Justly arrested brother
But, oh, the King and the Queen of Light
Rule with unbendable might
So, it's to the gallows for the
Long lost Kingdom of Light oh oh
In the Kingdom of Love we're all just fodder
As the cannonades drub
Our sons and daughters
But, oh, the King and the Queen of Love
With their long, white, fingerless gloves
Bang the gavel for the
Long lost Kingdom of Love oh oh
Of Love of Love
