The Minstrel (feat. Nicholas Guy Smith)

A minstrel steps into a hall To see his king and queen Sire, there is something I must say The words no longer find their place Nor music fill my ears Looks like my age has finally won the day Respectfully I bid your leave Although my heart is sad But before I walk this last lonely mile I need to know that with my songs Your spirits I have moved For if they have my life has been worthwhile Do you like the songs I've sung to you Do you like the time that we've been through Do you like my music, do you like to sing along Yes we like the songs that you have sung And we like the friends that we've become We like your music and the words of your songs Thank you for those words so kind But I still feel some concern For what has been the purpose of my songs The cruelties of this world remain And though my words may warm the soul They've not put right a single wrong And a tired king makes softly his reply You've sung to us of love and pain Of sorrow and of joy And we're touched that with us your soul you've shared It's true your songs won't change the world If only that they could But they make our pain much easier to bear Do you like the songs I've sung to you Do you like the times that we've been through Do you like my music, do you like to sing along Yes we like the songs that you have sung And we like the friends that we've become We like your music We like your music We like your music and the words of your songs A minstrel and a king unite in a tearful farewell For the rest of time, the world unites Under the minstrel spell
