The Lady-in-Waiting Lyrics by Peter Maxwell Davies

Eight Songs for a Mad King

1969

Madam let us talk, let us talk
Madam I mean no harm
Only to remember, to remember
What it was that through silk
Lace, linen and brocade
Swooped on my needle. To remember
Madam, let us talk, talk, talk, talk
I mean no harm, no harm, no harm, no
