The courtyard is empty -- and the drawbridge is high My jester is singing his saddest goodbye I'm king of a lonely castle Cause the queen of my heart is gone My chargers are searching -- the far country side Her ladies in waiting their lonely hearts cry I'm king of a lonely castle Cause the queen of my heart is gone But I don't really have a castle And I don't have a throne to ascend But I did have a queen now she's gone and it seems That it's best to pretend with a storybook end And I'm king of a lonely castle Cause the queen of my heart is gone Interlude My banner is flying -- my love from the tower Proclaiming to heaven I die every hour I'm king of a lonely castle Cause the queen of my heart is gone Outro I'm king of a lonely castle Cause the queen of my heart is gone
