[Lyric] Excalibur (John Wesley Harding)

There you were
Handle glinting bright in the sunlight
You were the thing
That proved me once and future king
Excalibur, Excalibur
I will leave you where you are

"Take me up"
Engraved on one side of your blade
On the other, "Cast me away"
Who was I to disobey?
Excalibur, Excalibur
Excalibur, Excalibur
I should have left you where you were

Your bright light
Scorches enemy eyes like thirty torches
And it's lovely hеre on your back porch
Where no onе else can see
You and me
Throw her in
She's worth more than the Earth can give
Hold your nerve
A decent burial's what she deserves
Excalibur, Excalibur
Excalibur, Excalibur
I will always love you as you were

A hand reaches from the water
And gives you back to me
