Homecoming Queen (Ector)

[Verse 1] Well Arthur chased a crown of gold And Mordred chased it too The wizards chased their prophecies Like wizards always do The knights all chased their glory songs And rode from town to town While I spent half my bloody life Chasing sheep around [Verse 2] The kingdom burned from coast to coast The banners all came down A thousand fools with noble names Kept fighting for a crown And every week somebody new Declared they ruled the land Then lost it by the following week Exactly as I planned [Chorus] She's my Homecoming Queen The finest I've ever seen No throne No sword No royal scheme Just my Homecoming Queen She's my Homecoming Queen The pride of every field of green While kings chased destiny She came back home to me [Verse 3] I heard Guinevere now wears the crown And honestly that's fine At least she seems to love the land Unlike that royal line Bedivere advises her Or maybe something more I'm old enough to mind my sheep And stay out of that war [Verse 4] Morgan's in a convent now Morgause went there too And after all the things I've seen That's probably best to do Percival still seeks the Grail Gawain walks alone And somewhere Cedric writes it down Completely bloody wrong [Chorus] She's my Homecoming Queen The finest I've ever seen No throne No sword No royal scheme Just my Homecoming Queen She's my Homecoming Queen The pride of every field of green While kings chased destiny She came back home to me [Bridge] The dragons came The dragons went The prophecies all failed The mighty sword was broken And Camelot was nailed The heroes all became legends The legends all became lies But a shepherd learns what's important If he lives long enough to survive [Verse 5] Now she's back where she belongs Beside the old stone wall The world can keep its kingdoms I don't need them at all I've counted every sheep tonight One Two Three Through seven And for the first time in many years Everything feels like heaven [Final Chorus] She's my Homecoming Queen The finest I've ever seen No throne No sword No royal scheme Just my Homecoming Queen She's my Homecoming Queen The pride of every field of green Let Britain do what Britain will My flock is finally complete [Outro] Now I really must repair that fence. Otherwise she'll wander off again. And I'm getting too old for another saga.
