Renaissance

Take me back to a more romantic time Of kings and castles and love sublime When chivalry was in the air Let me kiss the hand of my lady fair I'll walk the land in days of yore When tales were told by a troubadour I will go where the ale and wine are poured I will serve my queen with fire and sword I could scale the castle walls in the dark of night To see the woman I love, what a beautiful sight We could steal away from the castle and then Join forces with Robin and his merry men A life full of daring, knowing not fear Dining in the presence of Queen Guinivere Each morning launches new escapades Mounting my horse to join the Crusades Oh please take me back if only in a dream Where honor and courage were held in esteem Where wizards cast spells and dragons breathe fire To become a knight was a young man's desire Oh let me be brave in times of duress And save that damsel in distress Let me bend to one knee before we part Gaze into her eyes and win her heart.
