Joan Baez - Lady Di And I lyrics
Your rating:
(Words and Music by Joan Baez) Wake me with kisses in the afternoon The butler knows any time you arrive is never too soon He knows just where you are by the sound of your car He'll be waiting there by the spiral stair You could drive me crazy with your unkempt hair You don't know what a comb is and frankly, I don't care 'Cause you're fast and you're wild and you make the butler smile By bringing me flowers like meteor showers Which reminds me of something that I've recently seen It was a look in the eye of Lady Di As she stood on the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the century was in her long white veil Maybe she would rather have you than the Prince of Wales And all the jewels and the crown and all the villages and towns that line the sea of the monarchy And while I cut the roses, what about Lady Di? She's a child of the 80's just like you and like I Think of all of the things that she'll never do See a rock and roll show, get a heart-shaped tattoo Wear a t-shirt around in the middle of town Take a Harley ride as the sun goes down And think of all the music that I make with you Let's take a walk on the wild side, baby, I'm in love with you I will leave my Dior by the cabinet door And I'll leave my bouquet on the breakfast tray My parents are out, let's head north of the bay Maybe go for a sail just like the Prince of Wales Does he ever love her in the afternoon? Was the kiss that she gave him in public just a little too soon? And it's really a shame, she'll take half of the blame For the boys in the Maze and their numbered days Yes, there's a tear in the eye of Lady Di As she looks from the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the century is probably a lie My heart goes out to you, Princess, lovely Lady Di For all that it seems, here I stand in my jeans For whatever it means, it is I who am queen
