Queen — White Queen As It Began Live at the Rainbow London / November 1974

(Freddie: This is a number from 'Queen II', written by Brian May, 'White Queen') So sad, her eyes Smiling dark eyes So sad, her eyes As it began On such a breathless night as this Upon my brow the lightest kiss I walked alone And all around the air did say My lady soon stir this way In sorrow known The White Queen walks and the night grows pale Stars of lovingness in her hair Needing - unheard Pleading - one word So sad her eyes She cannot see How did thee fare, what have thee seen The mother of the willow green I call her name And 'neath the window have I stayed I loved the footsteps that she made And when she came White Queen how my heart did ache And dry my lips no words can make Still, I wait My Goddess hear, my darkest fear: I speak too late It's for Evermore that I wait Dear friends, goodbye No tears (in) my eyes So sad, it ends As it began ... (Brian: Thanks a lot, thank you. Thanks a lot, thanks a lot, it's nice to see you all again tonight, makes the Rainbow feel like home for us, great. We've narrowly, narrowly escaped having a number one single this week, ah, and this is the side which you haven't been hearing on the Tony Blackburn show ...)
