Lyrics

Ernie Botts + the Miseries - ​courtyard

〈Intro〉
Welcome to a half pound of chocolate
Welcome to a white speckled ceiling
Welcome to the quiet desperation
That comes with bidding farewell
To the king

〈Chorus〉
They're playing for the king in the courtyard
Repeating a timeless melody
They’re playing for the king in the courtyard
Dreamers, lovers, and thieves

〈Verse〉
If you let her persuade you
You'll stay eternally
Five thousand fathoms
On the other side of the sea

〈Chorus〉
Playing for the king in the courtyard
Repeating a timeless melody
Playing for the king in the courtyard
Lovers, dreamers, and thieves

〈Verse〉
Left under the cabinets
One last breath of air
Minor twists of fate and labyrinths
If they find you down here
〈Chorus〉
Playing for the king in the courtyards
A last melody
Playing for the king in the courtyards
Lovers, dreamers, and thieves
