Tristan and Iseult Lyrics by Tarkio

Sea Songs for Landlocked Sailors

0

"Would you like to go out tonight?"
Said Tristan to Iseult
"It's a lovely night
To go to the Odeon;
Sit in the back row
I'm sick of staying in, oh."
So they threw on some clothes
Walked slowly down the street
Lit by lantern light
Through the market square
Studied the marquee
Bought two tickets and some popcorn
And on the screen the hero stands
The female lead, hand in hand
And says
"God I love you
But you trouble me."
She pushes him away
And as the credits rolled
Tristan turned to Iseult
Said, "What did ya think?"
"It was okay, I guess
That story's pretty old
It's a bit clichéd and hackneyed, I thought, I thought."
And back out on the street
They stopped for some ice cream
Talking quietly
There was nobody
In the room in which they sat
As he reached across the table
And just as their fingers caught
Timidly, he whispers soft
And says, "God I love you, but you trouble me."
Said Tristan to Iseult
Said Tristan to Iseult
Said Tristan to Iseult
