Strawbs - The King lyrics
rate meThe soft blush of evening<br />
Returns to the folded hills<br />
The sky rains magenta<br />
In praise of the shepherd's skills<br />
The lion lies down beside the lamb<br />
At peace in the holy ground.<br />
<br />
The King is returning<br />
And those that were lost are found.<br />
<br />
The old moon is resting<br />
She sleeps in the new moon's arms<br />
The love of a mother<br />
Eclipsed by her daughter's charms<br />
The robin bares his wounded breast<br />
And sings with a joyful sound.<br />
<br />
The glory of Heaven<br />
Explodes in the rising sun<br />
The long wait is over<br />
The new reign just begun<br />
The ransom of the holly bush<br />
Was paid when the King was crowned.<br />
<br />
A symphony of harmonies<br />
In one triumphant sound.
