The Minstrel's Prayer

[00:16.83] And all these stupid silly songs
[00:20.63] Keep trying to catch your ear
[00:24.45] I'm trying desperately
[00:27.40] It's just so hard to persevere
[00:31.41] And even if you listened
[00:35.04] I never had much to say
[00:38.30] Cause it's the same old song
[00:41.84] I've written for the day
[00:45.52] Shelter me oh genius words
[00:50.57] Just give me strength
[00:54.21] To pen these things
[00:56.43] And give me peace to well her wings
[00:59.32] And oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
[01:06.23] We will catch our ladies ear
[01:09.61] We will win for us the girl
[01:27.24] All these minstrels through the ages
[01:31.08] That is really all we are
[01:34.60] Simply singing for the girl
[01:37.88] That makes us try so very hard
[01:41.48] To craft the perfect limerick
[01:45.25] To wield unending woe
[01:48.74] To write such silly songs
[01:52.09] And the different never know
[01:56.44] Shelter me oh genius words
[02:00.71] Just give me strength
[02:04.49] To pen these things
[02:06.85] And give me peace to well her wings
[02:09.63] And oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
[02:16.72] We will catch our ladies ear
[02:20.14] We will win for us the girl
[02:24.18] And i'll hold on to the dream
[02:30.84] Of this beggar's plea and optimistic fantasy
[02:38.19] Just hold the hand and drop the knee
[02:45.04] You're facing love
[02:47.84] You're embracing melody
[03:06.59] Shelter me oh genius words
[03:11.39] Just give me strength
[03:14.95] To pen these things
[03:17.34] And give me peace to well her wings
[03:20.11] And oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
[03:27.03] We will catch our ladies ear
[03:30.46] We will win for us the girl
[03:34.45] And oh carry on, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
[03:42.15] We will catch our ladies ear
[03:45.20] We will win for us the girl
[03:50.36]
