Lindisfarne - Lady Eleanor lyrics

rate me

LADY ELEANOR<br />

<br />

Bashee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor<br />

Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw<br />

Had my share of nightmares, didn't think there could be much more<br />

then in walked Rodrick Usher with the Lady Eleanor<br />

<br />

She tied my eyes with ribbon of a silken ghostly thread<br />

I gazed with trouble vision on an old four poster bed<br />

Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head<br />

and bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead<br />

<br />

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor <br />

All right, Lady Eleanor<br />

I'm all right where I am<br />

<br />

She gazed with loving beauty like a mother to a son<br />

like living, dying, seeing, being all rolled into one<br />

Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones<br />

the same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home<br />

<br />

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor <br />

All right, Lady Eleanor<br />

I'm all right where I am<br />

<br />

Then creeping on towards me, licking lips with tongues of fire<br />

a host of golden demons screaming lust and base desire<br />

and when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no higher <br />

I heard a voice above the rest screaming 'You're liar'<br />

<br />

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor <br />

All right, Lady Eleanor<br />

I'm all right here in your arms
