Gone For A Burton - The Lilac Time

Another one escapes the wilderness

We’re sure to follow

Though lovers be lost love shall not

In that we wallow

Shall his death have no dominion

I made you mine

The night that Richard died

The newscasters cried

The night that Richard died

All they could take from him was his fame

They kissed it away

If their honour’s lost they lose their lives

Should kiss them away

I might live out this great gap of time

Down in the valley

It’s just another nail in the stable door

Of his brothers' mine

The night that Richard died

The newscaster cries

Forgive him all their lies

Forgive them for their lies

Forgive them for their lies
