Genesis — The Musical Box

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] And the nurse will tell you lies Of a kingdom beyond the skies But I am lost within this half-world It hardly seems to matter now [Chorus] Play me my song (Here it comes again) Play me my song (Here it comes again) [Interlude] Just a little bit Just a little bit more time Time left to live out my life [Chorus] Play me my song (Here it comes again) Play me my song (Here it comes again) [Verse 3] Old King Cole was a merry old soul And a merry old soul was he So he called for his pipe And he called for his bowl And he called for his fiddlers three But the clock, tick-tock On the mantelpiece And I want, and I feel, and I know And I touch her warmth [Verse 4] She is a lady, she's got time Brush back your hair (She’s got time, for she’s a lady) And let me get to know your face She is a lady, she is mine! Oh, brush back your hair (She is mine, she is a lady) And let me get to know your flesh [Verse 5] I've been waiting here for so long And all this time has 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? [Outro] Touch me now, now, now, now, now! Now, now, now, now, now! Now, now, now, now, now! Now, now, now, now! Now, now, now, now!
