The Musical Box
Genesis
Play me Old King Cole
That I may join with you
All your hearts now seem so far from me
It hardly seems to matter now
And the nurse will tell you lies
Of a Kingdom beyond the skies
But I'm lost within this half-world
It hardly seems to matter now
Play me my song
Here it comes again

Here it comes again
Just a little bit
Just a little bit more time
Time left to live out my life
Play me my song
Here it comes again
Play me my song

And he called the his fiddlers three
And the clock, tick tock

And I want
And I feel
And I know
And I touch her warmth
She's a lady, she's got time
Brush back you hair, and let me get to know her face
She's a lady, she's mine
Brush back you hair, and let me get to know her flesh
I've been waiting here for so long
And all this time that passed me by
It doesn't seem to matter now
You stand there with your fixed expression
Casting doubt on all I have to say
Why don't you touch me, touch me?
Why don't you touch me, touch me?
Touch me now, now now, now, now
