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
