Gone
For A
(The Lilac Time
– Stephen Duffy/Nick Duffy)
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
So that I might
live out this great gap of time
I made you mine
The night that
Richard died
The newscasters
cried
The night that
Richard died
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
