The Lilac Time - Gone for a Burton Lyrics

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 honor'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
