Ex Libris - The Courtship Lyrics

The towers rise up ahead, along the river Thames
A minstrel starts to sing
The gentlemen bat their eyes and all the women sigh
But I keep walking forwards and then with a grin on my face
I'll return to you, Your Grace!

Our eyes entwined, a golden enchantment bestowed upon us
Our hands slowly cemented our star-crossed love

Oh from this day forward to thee I belong
Oh, oh I belong

No maiden nor concubine shall I become of thine
No bastard to my name
Oh my ruler I do implore forget, annul what was before!
And lead me, beguile me and make me whole

Oh from this day forward to thee I belong
Oh, oh I belong

Henry, must we dwell on bygone days
Must we act as in a bygone age
While it is in your hands to separate!
Annul this marriage as head of state
Break with Rome and break with fate

My lips beckoning to kiss you, oh make me yours
My hips beckoning to thrill you, oh make me yours

And could thee comfort neither church nor the queen
My king, please be wise else my soul in prison lies

Our eyes entwined, a golden enchantment bestowed upon us
Our hands slowly cemented our star-crossed love
Our lives entwined, the promise awaited now I am your bride
Violently you commenced and shamed my pride

Oh from this day forward I belong to thee
Oh, oh I belong

Lay with me, stay with me, for I to thee - belong, oh Lord!
Father in heaven please bless me with a son
