The Fool And The King

I touched your skin but not your heart....

I am the fool and you're my king

You wear the crown, I dance and sing

Amuse the beauty in your court

How can the fool become your precious queen

When words and kisses mean nothing

I touched your skin but not your heart

My love is one of hundred hungry pleas

You deal with her as if she's just disease

And offer me kindly just rotten peace

Lovers whine for signs on their knees

I touched your skin but not your heart

Laughing till laughter sounds absurd

Till smiling starts to hurt

Under debris lies our past

Bury the memories, nothing lasts

Beside our names carved into stone

I was a fool conduced to your joy till

Your unrest found another thrill

I lost my dream, you lost your throne

Virtually the world lies at your feet

Nothing can supply your sateless need

No one may ever stir your dull heartstrings

Can hear the dirge they sing so cruel and endless

I touched your skin but not your heart...
