Kingfisher
Golden Earring · Millbrook U.S.A. [2003]
On the edge of the morning
Gaze at me from across the room
The candle light....dying
Music it sounds like a waterfall
Makes you feel like you're drowning
Kingfisher's eyes, you're like black pearl
SWatchin' the ghosts, surround me
Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!
The Candy Man's at the door again
Ringing the bell, I won't let him in
There's a storm a-raging inside my brain
Playing tricks with me in the dark
Don't believe a single word
That your ears have ever heard
Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!
The Vagabond outside he knows
The medicine don't work no more
The hurricane inside my head
Is nailing me to the floor
Don't believe a single word
That your ears have ever heard
Picking up the pieces now
Wipe the sweat from off my brow
By the cool light of the moon
Chase the ghosts out from my room
By the cool light of the moon
Kingfisher between me and you [2x]
Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!
The Candy Man's at the door again
Ringing the bell, I won't let him in
There's a storm a-raging inside my brain
Playing tricks with me in the dark
Don't believe a single word
That your ears have ever heard
Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!
Kingfisher's eyes shine as black as coal
On the edge of the morning
Gaze at me from across the room
The candle light....dying
